Mary A Rivera Curiba, MD

I almost cannot find the words for how bad this was for me. I had a 1:15 apt and did not see the Dr until 4:30. She spent more time looking at her laptop and asking me what seemed to be scripted questions. I will say she did order blood work- which they did right in the office. I decided to go back for my follow up at the last possible apt they had thinking the wait could not be as long. I feel like the Dr was angry that I even mentioned the wait, as she made a few snarky comments to me after. She was yelling to the staff that she couldn't get on the internet and didn't even "know this woman's name" (the woman was me - sitting right there). I thought maybe I was being punk'd somehow for some kind of TV show! She said my bloodwork showed some abnormalities but was going to suggest I go elsewhere as she didn't want to waste any more of my time. When I asked her to repeat the name if the dr she mentioned she was downright nasty to me. it was beyond horrible

I waited for 4 hours to meet the doctor. No proper planning.

I was really looking forward to this appointment but unfortunately I never even got to see the doctor! My appointment was for 2pm, I got there about 1:30-1:40. By 4 pm I was finally called to an exam room only to wait one hour before I HAD to leave. I had to pick my children up from aftercare by 5pm, so I had to leave. I never even saw the doctor! I've never waited on a doctor this long...ever! So I can't even say how she was because I never met her!

In general good Doctor but there are at least 4 hours wait. I don't understand why there are appointments made when people have to wait so long. My last appt was at 9am, it was 11 and the doctor was not there yet, no consideration for patients when in many cases they are in a lot of pain and sometimes in wheel chairs waiting so long. Old system in the office, cant use credit card for co pays, just not a professional office at all. You cant get a shot on the day of your appointment. You have to come back another day to pay another co pay and be charged extra.

I went to an appointment which was scheduled for two o’clock. I arrived at 1:45 pm and filled out the paperwork for new patient. It is 3:02 and doctor still has not seen me. I will find someone who respects my time. No thanks.

I've been sick since last summer gradually getting worse and worse continually blaming my FM but finally decided to try Rheumatologist last fall and I believe she's saving my life right now. Turns out it is much more and only she was able to find right diagnosis and just began treatment. She's thorow beyond words which was little exhausting but well worth it. I'm so glad I chose her out of all listings near and far. It's not too fast to get 1st appt. And the waiting room sometimes is long but it's because she stays with each patient as long as necessary without care about timing like most all drs now a days.

She found DX that no one else did I am truly grateful for her

I couldn't be in more capable or caring hands

I've been with her for several years and I can't thank her enough for how much she's helped me

Dr. Curiba took a few visits to warm up to, but one of the reasons the office wait time to get in to see her is so long is because she spends as much time as necessary with each patient. She is thorough and kind and has even returned my call at 10:00 PM - still in the office.
