Josefa Rivas PC

Dr. Rivas has been my dentist for a few years now and I must say she is amazing! She is very patient, professional and knowledgeable. Even on very busy days, Dr. Rivas and her staff are always happy and energetic while getting their job done! I am big on cleanliness and every time I have been there I’ve noticed that the entire office is very clean and organized. The staff is also friendly and inviting, just the other day my 11 year old son asked me when our next dentist visit was due and when I asked him why he wanted to know he said «because I love going there.» I would recommend her to anyone.

Dr. Rivas has been my dentist for a couple of years now. She is very professional and knowledgeable in dentsitry. Committed 100% to her patients, and feels empathy for us patients who are a little afraid of dentists; making the whole visit a lot smoother. The staff is awesome… Energetic, cordial and very friendly… The patient comes first at Dr. Rivas!

Shes a wonderful person and has a bubbly personality. BUT she has no clue what she is talking about. She told me I needed to get 14 cavities filled, so I got a second opinion. I only needed two. If your paying out of pocket I wouldn’t recommend her. She lets you know that she doesn’t charge you a lot but that’s because she is doing work that doesn’t need to be done. I am starting to worry about the root canal that she gave me was it needed?
Also she told me that no one would take my insurance I found some place in astoria that covers everything. She does not take hip medicaid but healthfirst for some reason.

I called the office a week in advance to set up an appointment. I was told they needed to call my insurance company first then they would call me for an appointment. The receptionist called back and set up an appointment for today. I get there and I’m told I don’t have the correct card even though this is the card # I read to the person over the phone. After 10 minutes its revealed the receptionist never called my insurance company and I can’t be seen. I was told they would call my insurance company on Monday and offered to set up another appointment. There is no way I would EVER go back to this office again. Very unprofessional for someone to flat out lie and say they called your insurance company and to get there and its a big waste of time.
