Patient Reviews
Aug 13, 2024
Dr. Rivera is widely recognized as the leading urology surgeon in Hawaii, particularly for complex procedures like those addressing urinary incontinence. After years of struggling with this condition, I sought multiple opinions from various urologists, but none inspired the confidence I found in Dr. Rivera. His reputation, combined with extensive research and careful consideration, ultimately led me to choose him for my treatment. I elected urethral bulking procedure using Bulkamid, a minimally invasive treatment designed to help strengthen the urethra and reduce urinary leakage. While I was mentally prepared for various possible outcomes, I was genuinely surprised by how smoothly everything went. I never expected to experience no pain post-surgery, nor did I anticipate a complete absence of complications. The results thus far have been nothing short of remarkable. The procedure has significantly improved my condition, and I’m thrilled with the outcome. Dr. Rivera’s expertise and care have truly made a difference, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with my decision to trust him with my health.
