    He was nice enough. I needed more time, I had questions! I waited a long time for this very important appointment! I traveled quite a distance for this very important appointment! I'm disabled and elderly! It will be difficult for me to see him again! He started walking toward the door before I was done! I remained with my mouth opened.!!And it was very bad weather!!

    I wish that everyone within the medical community could do the job that Dr. Rivera and his staff does. They set the standard very high, and I've never received such service as I receive with them. I can't tell you how happy I am with them and how they should be teaching others how to just run a really well-run office. It was just a pleasure to see him and his entire staff, everybody from people on the phone to setting the appointments. Everything was just perfect.

    Dr. Rivera is probably the best surgeon ever and I would highly recommend him to anyone. He did a complex double surgery for me and he was amazing. He was by my side at all times, checking on me constantly at the hospital every day. He had me following up and he's had my back through the entire process. And even now he still says to call him for any reason. He's just amazing. He is such a skilled surgeon and I could hardly even see my scars. He's amazing. He's just the best. Thank you.
