Dr. Rivas was extremely professional, efficient, and knowledgable. She took the time to explain everything to me. Her staff exuded the utmost professional office atmosphere & interactions with me. Dr. Rivas had an assistant who was responsive to my needs as well. Very impressive! I completely trust and recommend her to anyone seeking a dermatologist.

The doctor is a very through and professional individual and I would highly recommend her to my other friends and family. Her caring demeanor is genuine and she seems very knowledgeable in her field.
Parking on the second floor has places for her office. Otherwise, finding a place for your car is a nightmare!

I've been coming to Dr. Barba's office for quite some time but this was my first time seeing Dr. Rivas. She was polite and very quick. I'm used to the physicians spending more time with me and at least looking at my face (where I have my acne issues) but she simply asked if I was fine and refilled my prescription. So as always the service was good but I just felt she wasn't as thorough or comprehensive as the others I've seen.

Dr. Patricia Rivas is amazing. She has such a sweet personality and will really work with you in order to find a cure to any health complication. I have seen over four doctors and so far she has been the only one to find a cure for me.

Dr. Rivas was very friendly, and nice. She made me feel comfortable and her diagnosis and suggested treatment make sense and are built for you.

The office of Dr Rivas did not schedule my appointment, although Zocdoc emailed me a confirmation and reminders of my appointment. I was able to hear a staff member tell another that zocdoc won't schedule the appointment automatically, it had to be done manually every time. I was at the office 15 mins before my scheduled appointment and had to do paperwork all over again because they didn't have my zocdoc paperwork for some reason. After 40 mins waiting, I saw Dr. Rivas. She was very nice and seemed knowledgeable, unfortunately she was in a hurry because obviously they had to get me in as a last minute patient. My exam was very speedy and I was out the door super fast. I wish the staff was on their game with zocdoc so I would've spend more time with Dr. Rivas or at least not be in the waiting room for 40mins.

First time seeing her she made me feel comfortable right away plus she seemed knowlegeable. She is in her last term of pregnancy and about to burst...but still plugging away at work...what a super-woman! I look forward to seeing her again.

She was very nice, and reassured me that the things I was concerned about were fine. I did feel that she gave me a very quick once over for a first time visit, as compared to my previous dermatologist, who was very thorough.
