LOVE Dr Rivero, he always takes the time to make sure he understands all the subtleties of my mom's health. His insight and actions saved her life a year and a half ago and he continues to proactively monitor her health. I could not recommend a better doctor! His team is amazing and he follows up with all of her specialists.
