What Patients Say

Overall sentiment across review platforms: mixed

LocalityBiz and various business listing platforms: Varies significantly (ranges from 1-star to 5-star experiences) (Not explicitly aggregated; specific individual reviews available on various business platforms)

Patients praise

Professional, courteous, and friendly staff
Doctors are praised for being attentive, skilled, and thorough in explanations
Effective pain management and relief for many patients
Welcoming office environment
Supportive care for new patients

Common complaints

Difficulty reaching office staff via phone
Issues with billing department communication and invoice clarity
Lack of timely communication or call-backs regarding patient inquiries
Poor customer service regarding insurance changes or appointment cancellations
Instances of patient portal messages being ignored

"The billing department does need better invoices as it never matched up with insurance and I had to call several times to get it straight. Their invoices don’t make any sense at all."

— Patient review from LocalityBiz

"You can be the greatest doctor in the world with wonderful nurses, but if your support staff is incompetent, you will one day find yourself with no patients."

— Patient review from LocalityBiz

"Dr. Rivera took time explaining and offering ideas and guidance for pain management."
