“I experienced persistent ear popping and significant sinus pressure. The doctor quickly identified the issue and prescribed the necessary medication, which seems to have eased my symptoms, and I expect continued improvement over the next few days. I plan to return next month for a follow-up visit.”

I went for an annual and blood work. I was told the receptionist will send me the blood work order to get it done. I never received it. I called and left a voicemail requesting it and no one sent me. In the end I had to find another doctor to get blood work done

I was very displeased with my appointment with Dr. Rivera. Mostly because of a lack of communication with his patients and what to expect. I will not be booking an appointment with Dr. Rivera moving forward
