“10/10 Amazing Surgeon”
I was recommended to see Dr. Rivadeneira for a fistula that was related to my Crohn’s disease. He was so personable, calm, and confident in his skills. He advised me to schedule surgery for a fistulotomy, and at first I was very anxious but eventually I went through with it, and I am so glad that I did. He was extremely reassuring the day of the surgery, and helpful with all of my questions and concerns. His operating team was fantastic. I highly recommend him to anyone!!

“Amazing Surgeon”
During a routine colonoscopy a cancerous tumor was found by my gastro(Dr. Keschner) who immediately called Dr. Rivadeneira. We were given an appointment 10am the following morning and surgery was scheduled for the end of the week. Dr. Rivadeneira took his time with us and explained everything that was going on and what options I had. I am now 6 months post op and I have very little change in my quality of life and I attribute that to Dr. Rivadeneira and his team.

“UNMATCHED BEDSIDE MANNER”
I recently had several visits with Dr. Rivadeneira due to hemorrhoids. Obviously this is an extremely sensitive area and very painful-- however, Dr. Rivadeneira's delicate care made me feel at ease at these appointments. He had to do a treatment called "banding" and as invasive as this is he made it far less painful than it could have been. He is very kind, professional and caring. His staff is top notch as well. I was always greeted with kindness and happy faces. He is truly amazing at what he

“Can't believe I waited that long”
From the very first visit Dr Rivadeneira was very patient and explained everything so any Layman could understand, The procedure went exactly as he explained and was so quick I didn't realize it was done, I waited 6 years to call his office to have this procedure done, and I can't believe how having the Rubber-band treatment for hemorrhoids has improved my life. His staff was also very helpful and patient.

“Diverticulitis Surgery”
After 3 months of wearing a drain for an abscess from Diverticulitis, I was recommended to Dr. Rivadeneira from another surgeon, due to the fact I was considered high risk. Met with Dr. Rivadeneira who explained in detail the surgery I need. He also advised me based on the CT scan, I may need a colostomy bag whether it be for 3 month or the rest of my life since the diverticulosis was spread throughout my sigmoid colon. My surgery lasted about 3 hours and Dr, Rivadeneira skills ensured that I di
