Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Guzman-Rivera has poor bedside manner. He is rude and condescending and doesn't know how to connect with elderly patients subjecting patients to loud audible sighs of frustration.

I would never recommend this doctor to anyone. He is rude and has some kind of superiority complex. He seems miserable and does not show compassion. In addition, he wears so much cologne, that it's hard to breathe.

My mother is in the MSICU at JFK Hospital. My families experience has been an amazing one with everyone here on the floor. Dr Jhon Guzman-Rivera came in today and was rude, dismissive and felt bothered with our questions that my family asked him. He should not be a doctor especially on an ICU floor when the family is at a very sensitive and fragile state. I will have my words with him when I am not in front of my family and a mother that is fighting for her life.
