After having a colonoscopy, I was referred to Dr. David Rivadeneira, to remove a polyp and both internal and external hemorrhoids. Dr. Rivadeneira was very thorough while explaining what the surgery would entail and also what to do during my recovery period. Just three weeks since the procedure I am back to doing every day activities as if the surgery happened months ago. I would definitely recommend Dr. David Rivadeneira, to anyone looking for a doctor who specializes in this field.

After years of dealing with hemorrhoids, my gastroenterologist recommended that I see Dr. Rivadeneira. At my initial appointment, he examined me to find several hemorrhoids and a rectal collapse that needed repaired. He listened well and I felt reassured and comfortable with him and his nursing staff almost immediately. He seemed extremely confident and competent. The morning of the surgery, Dr. R's OR staff at Huntington Hospital were welcoming, professional and upbeat enough to ease my anxiety. In the recovery room, the nu... read more

Dr. Rivadeneira was recommended to me after I was diagnosed with a hole in the intestines that initially was healed with antibiotics. I met with him and he explained why I should have the surgery, how it would be done and insisted I have it done sooner then later. He was very kind, caring and reassuring. He planned to perform the surgery laparoscopically, with no bag, which he did. After the surgery Dr. Rivadeneira told me it was good I had the resection of the intestine done as it was much worse. It was ready to burst very ... read more

I was admitted to the Huntington Hospital, NY emergency room on 1/20/2020 with a severely enlarged colorectal abscess; it was so enlarged and painful, it was very difficult to sit. Dr. Rivadeneira was the on call colorectal surgeon. He arrived quickly, immediately diagnosed the condition and severity and then surgically drained the abscess. It was immediate relief; he provided excellent guidance regarding what to do for full recovery. The follow up visit in four weeks concluded that I had fully recovered. Many thanks to Dr. ... read more

Dr. Rivadeneira is knowledgeable and amazingly friendly. I have suffered with hemorrhoids for years. Had banning by mutilable doctors ( which was painful). For the last year I have been treated by Dr R. I was sent to him for hemorrhoid surgery. He advised me to try the banning a bit more and lets see what results we get before jumping into surgery. His approach made a lot of sense to me and the results are amazing. I am 100% free of the hemorrhoid issue and his banning was painless. I highly recommend him

After multiple episodes of diverticulitis and extensive treatment with antibiotics, it became apparent that I needed a more permanent solution to my health problem. Dr. Rivadeneira was recommended to me by both my primary care physician and my gastroenterologist. Thankfully, I followed their advice and discussed my options with Dr. Rivadeneira. He reviewed my medical records, CAT scans, and listened to my account of my symptoms and treatments. His recommendation was that I should have a robotic laparoscopic sigmoid resection... read more

Dr. Rivadeneira is a true professional. He makes you feel very comfortable in an uncomfortable place. Three of my family members go to him. I personally had the rubber band ligation done for internal hemmorhoids. Went so fast, was barely uncomfortable. I went a second time... same thing. Not a big deal. I feel so much better.

Dr. "Riva" is amazing! Firstly, he made me feel so at ease in his office. I had rectal bleeding so I finally decided to see a doc. Dr. Riva took a look and said that I had internal hemorrhoids that were causing the problem. He said that he could correct the problem with a rubber band, that would be placed at the base of the hemorrhoid. This would choke the hemorrhoid, shrink it, and it would fall off in a few weeks. It was painless, and it worked perfectly. No blood since. I feel so much better
