“Dr Rivadeneira is the BEST!”

Dr Rivadeneira is the best hands down! He performed a flawless colon resection to remove a diseased part of my colon due to Diverticulitis. I have been 100% since April 2022. Highly recommend Dr R. Great bedside manner and follow up care. Honest and transparent.

“trustworthy”

Dr. Rivadeneira treated me for internal hemorrhoids that were bleeding frequently. He explained the treatments necessary in understandable everyday language. His manner is very professional and i felt completely at ease with the treatments. The treatments were every month, minimal discomfort and worked very well. I highly recommend this doctor .

“The best!”

I was referred to Dr. Rivadeneira from my Gastro. I’ve suffered with Diverticulitis attacks for about 15 years. I met with Dr R to discuss a colon / intestinal resection surgery. Upon meeting Dr R I felt confident I was in excellent hands. His care team pre and post surgery was responsive, kind and answered all my questions. The surgery was a success. Recovery was just as Dr R explained. I’m so happy with the entire process from start to finish (post op 10 weeks). I would highly recommend Dr R.

“Excellent doctor and very professional.”

I have visited Dr. Rivadeneria a few times and he even performed a surgery on me. The surgery was a success and I had a full recovery. Each time I have visited Dr. Rivadeneira, I was greeted with a warm welcome and had any questions answered before examination. He has a calming demeanor and great bedside manner, this put me at ease for having rather embarrassing problems solved. I would highly recommend this Dr.

“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!!

“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
