Expect to wait more than a hour even if made an appointment. Actually appointment is a joke. Waiting room is always full and crowded. While seeing a patient doctor always forget their concerns bcc she has so many patients waiting. Guess what now they have pharmacy inside the clinic and doctor is is fully business women now. She will prescribe so many medicine even though if you don't need it. They are running dirty business there and looting government Medicare. This is what I observe last 2 years. Now I lost my patience. Finally it's over for me. Never going back.

I have visited Dr. Rivera a handfull of times now and I never have to wait more than acouple minutes! When we're going to the room the lady always lets me get my baby out with ease never rushing to get out. She asks details about the sickness and I feel she is really listening. The doctor also listens to my concerns and doesn't hesitate to do all she can to make me happy. Even offering the follow up make sure it hasn't gotten worse.

I have been using Dr. Rivera for all of my children, and since 2007. She is a great doctor and really cares about her patients. I would not take my children to any other doctor!
