Patient Reviews
Jan 15, 2026
Dr. Rivas is a great pulmonary doctor. While under his care my severe asthma is now under control. Dr. Rivas took his time working with me and finding the right medication to control asthma. I no longer need my daily inhaler or frequent use of the rescue inhaler. No my asthma is not cured it’s under control thanks to Dr. Rivas.
