I have multiple sclerosis. I saw Wanda Rivera a long tome ago )2008), but had to transfer to a new doctor. After deciding that I did not mesh with my last provider I decided to seek another provider and was thrilled to learn Wanda Rivera was available again. This appointment was a new patient visit. It was one f my best appointments. I did the lab work she ordered yesterday afternoon and received a letter from her this afternoon discussing the results. I am thrilled to be seeing her again. She really seemed to care.

Dr Rivera has been my primary care provider for almost 15 years now I think. Despite no longer living in the local area, there is a reason I still see her. She has always been attentive, supportive, well informed, everything you hope for but may not always get with some medical professionals. She has been a real champion for me in prioritizing my health and helping me navigate the different challenges I have faced throughout the years.
