I had a very high level of anxiety and she was so friendly while still being professional and informative that she set me right at ease. I would recommend her to anyone. She really knows what she's doing and is a kind and compassionate woman.

I chose to see Dr. Rivera after recommendations from friends because I wanted a doctor who took the time to talk to me and made me feel heard. Everything was explained to me fully before any procedures were done, and all of my questions were answered. I felt like an active participant in the visit, and that puts me at ease.
The office is clean and private, and staff are happy to stop and help if you have any questions about treatment, pricing, or appointments.

Dr. Rivera was very kind, pleasant, easy to speak with, very inviting, warm to speak with and generally genuine in her mannerism. I liked her vibe, I got a great feeling of someone I can converse with without becoming anxious, frustrated and/or someone that possibly doesn't understand me. I felt very comfortable and her staff were very open as well. In addition, her space was very bright and clean, a must for me. I was very pleased with my first visit with Dr. Rivera ~ thank you!
