Dr. Rivadeneira made me feel very comfortable and at ease. He explained everything about the procedure. He made me feel like I mattered, which is very important. He was thorough in his exam and in his explanation of what to expect afterward. I would highly recommend him.

I had surgery with Dr. Rivadeneira in May and September of 2015 for diverticulitis. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable and caring with his patients. He took the time to explain the test results, and made me much more comfortable about the two surgical procedures.
I would highly recommend him to everyone.

I had surgery with Dr. Rivadeneira in June and September. 2015 for rectal cancer. He spent the time to make me and my family fully understand the the testing and procedures, in addition to the post operative experience. I would highly recommend Dr.Rivadeneira for his skill, caring and empathetic manner.

Dr. Rivadeniera is a wonderful doctor. I am a RN, so I am very picky about my HCPs (health care providers), but Dr. Rivadeniera is one of the best, hands down! I am a young female and Dr. Rivadeniera treated me for pilonidal disease. I had a pilonidal cyst that was causing me discomfort and pain, and Dr R. treated me successfully in two visits. For those that do not know, Pilonidal disease is a condition in which one develops an abnormal skin growth located at the tailbone,between the buttocks, that can contain hair, a cluster of hairs, and\or infected skin. Pilonidal disease can be difficult to treat because the cysts that develop can often reoccur. After a simple procedure in his office, Dr. R successfully treated my cyst with NO complications after the cyst was lanced. He advocates for the best treatment option for his patients, and you can tell he genuinely loves what he does! I work in the health care field, and it is not often that you get a doctor who actually sits down and talks to you for a solid 5 to 10 minutes before examining you. He is trustworthy and develops a good rapport before proceeding with any form of examination or treatment. As a female with a sensitive condition in a sensitive area, I felt VERY comfortable with Doctor Rivadeniera. He is very knowledgeable and explains everything thoroughly in a way anyone can understand; if you do not understand or if you have any questions, Dr. R makes sure all of your questions are answered before proceeding with anything. Doctor Rivadeneira and his nursing staff are wonderful! Highly recommend!

Dr. Rivadeneira and his staff are skillful surgeons and caretakes. My surgery was emergency of nature and Dr. Rivadeneira was there to aid me. His staff visited me early each morning during my hospital stay and was informative and meticulous with my care.

Dr. Rivadeneira's skill and compassion restored my confidence in surgical practice and he has helped me get my life back. I visited Dr. 'Riva' after another surgeon who, without ordering any imaging studies, booked time in the OR to remove a portion of my colon. I had sought treatment for many years for what turned out to be rectal prolapse, but was met with misdiagnosis and inadequate care by several doctors who didn't have the knowledge, caring or skill to diagnose the condition. I was was immediately impressed with Dr. Rivadeneira's excellent staff, caring manner and credentials. He ordered the test that showed the nature and extent of the problem and he did the surgery four months ago. I did not have to have any of my colon removed and everything works just fine! Thank you Dr. Rivadeneira!

Dr. Rivadeneira and his staff were outstanding, to say the least. I recently had a bowel resection surgery for diverticulitis. I was out of the hospital in 5 days and doing regular activities the following week! (a bit tired of course, but still incredible) Constantly reassuring and always there when I have a question. His commitment to excellence is obvious, and can be said for the rest of his team as well.

Had a colon resection on 6/8/15. Dr. Rivadeneira was very caring and professional. From the initial appointment to my follow up appointment, he never made me feel rushed. Dr. Rivadeneira and his staff were just the best, as well as the care I received @ Huntington Hospital.

Dr. Rivadeneira has made a complex horseshoe fistula condition tolerable. The LOO (lack of option) remedy requires a great deal of patience and fortitude. For just short of a year's time, Dr. Rivadeneira walked me through every step of the way. His level of caring concern makes all the difference. My advice to anyone in this situation would be to try to keep a bit of levity and a positive attitude (the jokes and puns are endless!); but the faith and confidence you can place in Dr. Rivadeneira is EVERYTHING! There is actually an infinitesimal part of me that just might hope the condition returns!
