Tania Rivera, Md's Online Review Report Card

Discrimination I was referred to Dr. Tania Rivera at Family Health Centers of San Diego for my first consultation after being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I came in hopeful, expecting a collaborative conversation about treatment. Instead, I was met with rushed, dismissive care and ultimately, a provider who documented false and damaging statements about me in my medical record.I calmly shared that I had been living in a halfway house previously, and I believed that the stress may have triggered my symptoms. Dr. Rivera abruptly claimed she felt “threatened” and documented that I had “just come out of jail” and “became aggressive”—which is absolutely false and offensive. I never said I had been in jail, and I never raised my voice or acted aggressively. I simply asked questions and voiced my fear of jumping into aggressive medications without support or explanation.What’s worse, after this visit, I was told I could only be seen by another provider via telehealth—or in person only if another

The poor ratings are real. Poor staff support, disrespectful supervision, and lack of empathy. Steer clear.

Please find another doctor Dr. Rivera is the worst doctor I have ever met! Its really hard to schedule an appointment with a rheumatologist, ive been waiting for this appointment for 4 or 5 months, and it only lasted 2 minutes. Right away she told me that 'everything is fine and if i have anymore questions before i leave?' Its only been 15 seconds and she didnt really listen to me and whats going on with my pain. And how everything is fine if I have pain and my blood work was abnormal, thats why my physician sent me a referral to a rheumatologist, because I needed more blood work and diagnostics. Her response was 'just forget about those lab results, everything is fine, I will make a note in your account so we wouldnt do those test again'. like what? My blood work came back abnormal a few time already, and she said just to forget about it?! And every time I tried to tell her where is my pain located, and asking( like 5 times) to do more blood work or something else, she was interrupting me all the time 'do you

And she was so rude and unprofessional, the tone of her voice and the way she look at me. And then she just stood up and left the room, without saying anything. and it was the end of my visit. Just very unprofessional, and a waste of time.

Highly not recommended. She is so unprofessional, unresponsive and she's receptionist are so irrespectful..she star my treatment and after two month she DENIED TO CONTINUE MY TREATMENT. SO IRRESPONSIBLE. I PUT A COMPLAINT ON THE MEDICAL BOARD. I NOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVE THIS ISSUESS. If you have a complaint call medical board.

Thank you! This is great!

Excellent care Dr. Rivera is very easy to talk to. She is an exceptionally talented rheumatologist. She has compassion and professionalism. Her deep commitment to patient care shines through every time I see her. I like her personality. I have been her patient for more than 5 years now. Very caring person.

Liszette Peach Wow This Dr is really Amazing. The first of many Dr's who has finally paid attention to my medical. Talk about a Dr who really cares and takes the time. She has restored my faith in Dr's and Hospitals. She really stepped in and was on top of everything including other Dr's. I'm so lucky and I know it.

Terrible customer service. Trying to get appointment was harder than pulling one's own teeth.

This review is written for my spouse who was a patient 2.5+ years ago. My spouse was referred to the doctor again. First, https://www.rheumsd.com/appointment_request does not work. Called office and no one picks up the phone on the first day called. Finally got appointment for Wed, August 02nd at 2:00 PM PDT and then was canceled by the provider and scheduled for Wed, October 25th at 2:20 PM PDT with Tania Rivera, MD at Rancho Bernardo Ended up taking business elsewhere.
