Been going to Dr Rivera for years and have had nothing but great experiences. It is clear that he is passionate about dentistry and that shines through his work. Dr Rivera recently did a ton of work to improve my false teeth (from a previous accident) before my wedding this summer and I have never felt more confident and free when smiling. Thank you to both Dr Rivera and Susan for making this a seamless process- I couldn't be happier about my results!

DR. Rivera is a wonderful doctor. He's a very patient person who genuinely cares about his patients. He always takes the time to explain things to me and my son in terms that I can understand. He is always available if we have questions, replies to email and messages right away. He is diligent in making sure my son's health is the best it can be. The entire staff is wonderful. I would recommend Dr. Rivera to anyone seeking a kind, compassionate, and brilliant doctor!

Been a patient of Dr. Rivera forever, over 30 years. Followed him around as he's moved his practice several times. He's now an hour away and I still have no hesitation making the trip. Just saw me on a dental emergency basis last week. Fit me in on a day's notice. Great work.

I am a 52 year old male. I had a sports accident in high school which resulted in knocked out teeth and me having a lot of dental work over the years. By far, Dr. Rivera is the most talented dentist I have ever had. Everyone is surprised when I tell them that my teeth are fake. I truly consider him part artist, part doctor. I live in New York but travel to Chicago just for dental work and appointments. He is that good.

It's a rare occasion when a health care professional has the unique combination of technical excellence and extraordinary care for the individual. Dr. Rivera can see what needs to be done and takes the time to carefully explain the situation. Fear and anxiety melt away when the doctor is in command of his knowledge and application. Thank you for staying on the cutting edge of dentistry and seeing what others fail to see.
