Dr Joel Rivera Rodriguez is not my regular doctor but was filling in for Doctor Sara Cruz Luna that day. He was very nice and helpful. He listen to my concerns and gave me a solution until my doctor would return and made sure to also discuss it with her when she returned. He was very professional and knowledgeable.

He is always interested in my well being, and understand my requests with great responsibility and care, I consider him more like my friend than my doctor after been in his care for several years now, he and his nurse Dorothy are exceptional human beings

He listens and is compassionate. He explains lab results and provides detailed guidance and explanation of what is needed next. Dr. Joel is always kind, and clean with his person, which is very important to me.

He is always friendly. Always ask how do I feel before he provides test results and or referrals recommended according to my symptoms if any. Shows real interest about my health. Always recommend to call the office before going to ER unless it's really necessary. I have referred him to friends. That's how much I trust his care and the only reason I changed insurance, just to keep him as my PCP after Optum dropped my old insurance.

Perhaps we are too comfortable with each other and he accepts what I say without checking for himself. While I appreciate his confidence in me and the test results checking me physically would make me feel much better especially when I have a specific concern or comment. After all I am there to speak to the expert which I indeed am NOT. I do appreciate his kind understanding and support over the years.
