Patient Reviews
Jun 09, 2017
Dr. Rivera delivered me on the day of my birth, and was my primary doctor the following 23 years of my life -until I graduated college. Then he insisted I was no longer a kid and had to get a grown up doctor. Bummer ?? He helped me through countless sinus infections, ear infections, the flu, and stints in the hospital. He is an extremely caring and genuine doctor, and I am better because God put him in my life. He truly cares about the welfare of his patients, and he knows his stuff! Five stars
