“I’m so grateful to my surgeon and his entire office team for such a positive experience! Having surgery can feel overwhelming, and feeling comfortable and supported makes such a difference. Everyone was kind, professional, and welcoming, and I felt truly cared for throughout the process. I’m still early in my recovery, but I already wanted to express my appreciation for their care and kindness. I would highly recommend this practice!”
“The pre- and post-surgery care with Dr. Rivela was incredible. Dr. Rivela is always willing to answer all questions and is a perfectionist doctor who performs everything with immense precision and care. Nurse Abby makes everything simple and inspires immense confidence and affection. I am very happy with the result of the surgery and have never felt so calm and cared for as I am by this team. Thank you all.”
“Cannot recommend enough! The staff is so amazing! Abby is so amazing and I love her so much, she always made me feel comfortable and would check in on me! The doctor is super professional and kind and does amazing work! I got a tummy tuck and recovery was so easy with their guidance. 10 out of 10 recommended:)”
“Dr Rivela was a pleasant very professional doctor. I liked his demeanor and bedside manner. He listened to me and gave me his recommendations as to the best way to achieve my desired results. I felt comfortable with him and he conveyed a sense of trust. I have not decided to move forward yet but it has nothing to do with the practice or my experience at my consultation. I also liked that the consultation was free. Many surgeons charge $250.”
“I LOVE dr. Rivela’s work, and also his kind and polite staff. His reputation is through word of mouth and I am so glad I found him. He is very detailed oriented, and he knows how to bring out beauty in women. He takes your concerns and desires very seriously, and he’s is very respectful towards your transformation. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Rivela.”
