| 4.4 | Mar 7, 2025 | Dr. Riviera is a good doctor. I sometimes wish that he would explain more of what is going on with me and why he wants to do certain things or provide new medications, since I don't often have the right questions to ask . | |

| 5.0 | Feb 22, 2025 | I actually asked Doctor Rivera if there was a way to rate how well the staff was on my Saturday morning visit. I had two of the most caring and kind women get me in the room, take my EKG and then make the further appointments for testing next month, they were outstanding. Doctor Rivera, who I've been seeing for over 20 years, told me not to tell him but share my comments on this survey I'm taking now, so his bosses know. I've seen Legacy Heart at its low points of operation years ago after Baylor, Scott & White acquired them and I realize it takes time to get a place organized and running smoothly. It looks like you've reached that goal, I can only express my thanks for the care and expediency I receive when I visit Doctor Rivera. | |
