Terrible experience, my concerns were poorly addressed. No treatment plan in place. Just given runaround’s and no help. I should’ve went to Western neurology.

Dr Rivero always listens to his patients and answers all their questions. And remembers your situation when he addresses you. He's a very nice man with a good bedside manner.

Great bedside manner and interaction especially using a scribe for documentation. Liked his explanation of the diagnosis and plan for further testing and possible surgical intervention.
