MIchael Rivera-Weiss's Online Review Report Card

never had a problem, I have been treated with respect.

I been seeing him for past 2 years he tries his best to help me I do get relief I wouldn't go to another doctor other than him

Terrible. He treated me like I was a drug addict and needed to go to rehab. Excuse me for having a brain tumor then 2 months after surgery having a fall down the stairs resulting in a 10cm hematoma. My pain was under control with the meds I was on. He treated me like garbage and all he worried about was that I didn't come back for a second nerve block. The first one was worthless and why didn't he rearrange his schedule so I didn't have to miss work? And by the way, I didn't have to go to rehab, I got off Norco with no issues. You quacks seem to forget you WORK FOR US. I am controlling my pain in a legal way no thanks to you and our worthless government. Patti Braun

Dr Rivera is an ABSOLUTE BLESSING to our community!!! I was scheduled to see him before he even started his residency at St. Rita’s Neuroscience Bldg. I KNOW I’m very fortunate to be under his care.HONESTLY, I feel that he has given me “part of my life” back.I have suffered for years with chronic pain and to have a Dr. that actually “LISTENS”....There will never be enough words to express my gratitude. Dr. Rivera is extremely passionate about his patients.Every staff member treats you with respect...(I also see Brad Marzec, CNP there). I won’t say who the pain Dr. was that I was seeing prior to Dr. Rivera, BUT I will tell you that he was continuously insisting that I take Fentanyl, even though I told him it was causing hallucinations. VERY SCARY DRUG! Oh he also said “it’s against his policy to have anyone in the room with you during that visit”. (TOTAL NIGHTMARE)So if you need the BEST IF THE BEST... See Dr. Rivera-Weiss! (It’s probably a matter of time before he can’t see any other patients)

Never again. Stares at you the whole time, tons of questions because he automatically assumes youre a drug seeker, and tries to push back injections, etc, all things ive already tried. Waste of time!

Dad being treated with epidural injections without and MRI of his spine. Once MRI done never given the results, now couldn't walk due to compressed nerve, admitted to local hospital then died unexpectedly from a blood clot.Called office staff to question why no MRI results called and "not their policy" per the rude nurse that I spoke to. MRI was read that same night he had it done.. Dr was paged 2 days after MRI due to increased pain and he called in more meds without even knowing the results despite the test being read already. He needed competent help from an orthopaedic surgeon. He never did get his surgery he needed. I was also told from his nurse that "I was just looking for someone to blame for his death". Yes I can say I do blame this doctor for treating someone without knowing what was wrong then not caring enough to read the results on the tests he ordered other than 5 monutes before their appointment.Policy needs to be changed!!! I wouldn't send my dog to this doctor.
