He seemed nice and personable. Sending survey after 1st meeting for a consultation?

It's a good thing Dr. Sean Rivera has long legs! He's always running from one appointment to the next! But, as a patient, when he's actually with you in an exam room you never feel that he's rushing and that he has all the time in the world! He is compassionate and is excellent at explaining complex eye issues. I'm so glad he's with me on this glaucoma journey!

Dr Rivera is an excellent doctor. Very professional and helpful in explaining diagnosis of glaucoma and treatment available. Though the wait is long, I will continue to see him. I trust him with my visual care..

I waited over an hour to have drops put in my eyes then took me to another waiting room to wait again! I could even wait for my appointment cause I had to leave, the receptionist was bus with customers waiting while I was waiting!
