Patient Reviews
Apr 18, 2023
He hasn’t “changed” yet. Family member has had their cardio over TWENTY years, now you’re so rushed. Not the case with Dr. Rivera, saw on an urgent matter unable to see Reg cardio and he listened, verified w caretaker in a respectful and nonobvious way. 20 years is loyalty but our experience so good my fam member wants Rivera as her primary. The ONLY downside is being with Steward Medical. Office staff is horrendous depending who you get not specific to Rivera the woman I spoke to was very kind. Our exp w Steward is some of the best doctors and worst supporting staff w a few exceptional gems.

Board Certifications
What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
