Dr Rivera is a doctor who truly listens to his patients. He walks you out when the visit is complete. I know this may seem like a small thing, however, many doctors don't take the time to go the extra mile. Dr. Rivera is a skilled physician with a caring heart.

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Rivera-Rodriguez?
Dr. Rivera is a caring, professional, who is up-to-date on current therapies and is also a kind and gentlemanly individual. He never rushed me or makes me feel as though I am taking too much of his timr, which is good, as he is my GO as well as my rheumatologist. I started seeing him when my prior doctor moved to another state. I was prepared to be disappointed, as she had been treating me for 9 years and we had become close, but I have been very happy with Dr. Rivera over the past 4 years.
