As I sad before, Dr. Rivas Rios is an excellent doctor. He truly cares about my health and care. He listened and answered my questions with concern and knowledge. We discussed medication interactions as I take a lot of different meds. I would give Dr. Rivas Rios 200% score if I could.

This was my first visit. And I am new to this area - recently moved from NJ. I was impressed by the time the resident and doctor spent with me. I appreciated the time they took to review my documentation from previous cardiologist in NJ.

Dr Rivas was very knowledgeable about the problems I was having. He asked many times if I had questions and told me how I could reach him. He scheduled tests which were scheduled within the next two weeks. He took time to understand my history and current treatments being done by my primary care.
