Dr. Rivera is amazing... my husband was in and out of his procedure in a short period. No complications and fast recovery is what we needed. He was, also, very nice during our initial visit. He made eye contact and gave us his full undivided attention. That was a breath of fresh air since we were mistreated by NCH.

I have cirrhosis of the liver. I haven't had anyone EXPLAIN what over the counter drugs or prescription drugs I can take that won't affect my liver. They rarely answer the phone, and everything goes to voicemail. Leave messages that are not returned. I am having a difficult time and don't have confidence in this doctor or office anymore. May have to start all over with another doctor. Not at all pleased with my care, or should I say lack of care!!! Julie Rach

Overall experience was very positive. Staff is very friendly along with being professional. Sincere concern for my comfort and results. Although i would never had liked to meet him in the first place, i would highly recommend him and his team.

My mom is very ill. She has been in the hospital for almost 3 weeks with serious pancreatitis . Finally she got discharged but very weak and we went to see dr riviera for her first out of hospital visit. She started to ask a question and he tapped his watch and out of the office he went.
