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 does--his demeanor is calming and when you are dealing with such a delicate area it's so appreciated to have someone as compassionate and gentle as Dr. Rivadeneira.
I saw Dr. Rivadeneira when my hemorrhoids became too painful to live with. I was very nervous about how painful treatment would be. Dr. Rivadeneira immediately put my mind at ease, fully explaining everything about hemorrhoid banding and what the aftereffects of banding would be. He was right. The process is simple and quick. It is performed in the office and on each visit I was in and out in less than a half hour. The discomfort (not pain) was far, far less than the pain I had been living with. If you are suffering from hemorrhoids, I highly recommend that you see Dr. Rivadeneira.
Dr. R made a taxing stressful situation bearable through open dialogue, professionalism and concern for his patient. My operation and the recovery process were well managed and with his help I am cancer free.
Dr. David Rivadeneira provided me with excellent care and a successful surgery to remove a cancerous polyp. He then referred me to an excellent oncologist who is helping me with chemo radiation to further the success of eliminating any cancer. I feel like I’m in excellent hands.
Dr. Riva has treated me for the past year. His professionalism and humanistic approach is second to none! Dr. Riva actively listens, demonstrates genuine empathy and most importantly treats the ailments. Thank you Dr. Riva!
