He is wonderful. Kind, patient, smart. Looks out for the patient not the formula business model. Saved my life, appendix was in very bad shape. The post op care is stellar so all five of those stars are earned. Thank you.

Dr. Rivera performed a very complicated cased of cholecystectomy and did a remarkable job not only procedurally but in bedside manner as well. I would definitely recommend him.

My father has had two abdominal hernia serguries done by Doctor Rivera. The first one was a regular open cut on his right side in 2013, and the second one was just done in July 2016 on his left side with robotic laparoscopic technic. Both experiences has been great. Dr. Rivera is truly one of the most caring and knolledgable specialist surgeon I personally ever met in my life.

Dr. Riviera saved my life in the middle of the night on 1/1/16. He is kind , compassionate , easy to talk to and never rushes you. I'm still being treated by Dr. Rivera. He's an excellent surgeon and a wonderful person.

Dr. Rivera operated on my brother yesterday, to remove his gallbladder. He called me the day before the surgery to explain everything. I also got a call before and after the surgery yesterday. This close communication is almost unheard of in healthcare today. I know because I have been in healthcare for 15 years myself. He is a warm, compassionate, skilled surgeon and I would recommend this physician 100 percent.

The most caring doctor that I have met. He would personally call me to follow up how i was doing after the surgery (not every doctor does). I had my gallbladder removed and now i feel much better. Surgery went really well and i had no complications and healed very fast. Highly recommend! Thank you Dr. Rivera!
