“The office is very nice and clean, the office staff was very friendly and welcoming, when you walked in you were greeted right away. The wait to see the doctor wasn't very long and Dr. Rivera has a very friendly demeanor and explained everything and then let me ask questions.”

“??????????
I’m a 16-year-old athlete and I had a really painful ingrown toenail that was making it hard to practice and even walk comfortably. I was honestly pretty nervous about getting it removed, but Dr. Eugenio Rivera made the whole experience way better than I expected.
He explained everything in a way I could understand and made sure I felt comfortable before starting the procedure. The removal was quick, and it was painless. He also gave me clear instructions on how to take care of it so I can heal fast and get back to volleyball.
If you’re dealing with an ingrown toenail (especially if you play sports), I definitely recommend Dr. Rivera. He’s professional, kind, and really knows what he’s doing.”

About Dr. Eugenio Rivera
Dr. Eugenio Rivera was born and raised in Puerto Rico and received a Bachelors in Biology from the University of Puerto Rico and a Masters in Health Services Administration from Arizona State University. One year later he realized that medicine, not administration was his passion. At which point, he decided to pursue a career as a podiatrist specializing in foot and ankle surgery
After graduating from Barry University’s medical/podiatry school, Dr. Eugenio Rivera completed his residency at South Miami Hospital. He then worked in South Florida for five years practicing foot and ankle medicine and surgery including limb salvage, wound care, and diabetic patient management. During his time, he was involved with the residency teaching programs in two different hospitals in South Florida and had the opportunity to work, as resident and attending, with the Barry University Yucatan Crippled Children’s program in Merida, Mexico. Dr. Eugenio Rivera then worked in the Seattle area with an established podiatric surgeon further enhancing his podiatric skills.
In 2014 Dr. Eugenio Rivera moved to the city of Houston in Texas and since then he has been a care provider in the field of podiatric medicine and surgery. As part of his professional goals he has committed himself to provide and promote the best podiatry care and service to his patients.
He is a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons and a Diplomate of the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery.
