“I absolutely love Dr. Rivas! He is incredibly kind, attentive, and truly takes the time to listen to my concerns. He delivered my son 6 years ago, and I’ve trusted him completely ever since. He’s always honest and reassuring. Whenever I have a question or worry and reach out, he responds right away. I couldn’t ask for a better OBGYN. ”

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Rivas for almost 17 years, and I truly trust and admire him as a doctor. He is kind, attentive, and always takes the time to listen and explain everything clearly. I’ve always felt comfortable and well cared for under his care. I couldn’t ask for a better gynecologist — highly recommend him!

Doctor Rivas is an excellent OBGYN. He has been my gynecologist for 13 years. He listens to my health concerns and answers all my questions.

I couldn’t ask for a better gynecologist. Dr. Rivas and his entire office team are always kind, professional, and welcoming. Every visit feels comfortable and stress-free, and he always takes the time to listen and explain things clearly. The office runs smoothly, the staff is friendly, and I never feel rushed. Truly a wonderful doctor with a great team. I’m grateful to have found them and highly recommend to anyone looking for excellent care.

Dr Rivas was absolutely amazing. I have been to quiet a few OB’s and none compare to him. This was my first visit with him and He is so attentive and comforting. I definitely recommend him!
September 11, 2025Alyssa P.Verified patient
Totally disappointed. I went to get my HCH levels they let me waiting days for my results to figured out I had a miscarriage. Than I did another blood test to make sure my levels were on 0 and everything was ok and they told me results are ready In 24 hours . It’s been a week !!! And I’m still calling and nobody answered. This is not just “bad service” — this is complete lack of compassion and sensitivity for someone going through the most vulnerable and Hard time.
September 2, 2025Dayse V.Verified patient
I would not go back simply because of the lack of professionalism from the lady at the reception. I arrived on time only to find they cancelled my appointment without notification, saying that he was in surgery and yet I had arrived to be seen. Without apologies She said am sorry zocdoc is just a 3rd party provider,we cancelled your appointment his in surgery! I would never go back.
