Patient Reviews
Sep 23, 2024
I went 55 years with undiagnosed Celiacs. Dr Rivera Torres diagnosed it in one visit. I have many, many doctors for my stomach aliments over the years. Both my husband and I were very pleased with his kindness, punctuality, and discussion of the proposed treatment. We were very sorry to see him leave Tx. He also treated my husband for Chrons in a similar manner.
