Testimonials

Dr. Riva there are no words to thank you enough for everything you did for me. From explaining everything thoroughly and sharing my concerns to making me feel comfortable with the choices I had to make. You are the best thing I could’ve asked for while looking for a new doctor and you now have another patient for life. God bless you and your family!

Dr. Riva is by far the best doctor I’ve ever visited. She takes her time to thoroughly listen to you and think about all possible diagnoses, whereas I’ve been rushed out of appointments with doctors in the past. She’s been knowledgeable on every issue I’ve brought up, and doesn’t jump immediately to a pharmaceutical solution when other remedies might be available. She’s also hilarious and obviously passionate about her work.

Adequate time allotted to answer all questions and concerns without feelings rushed. Very thorough. My husband likes her too and I would definately recommend Dr. Inna Riva to my friends and family.
