My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

I believe that listening to my patients is one of the most important parts of my primary care practice. It allows me the opportunity to know my patients better and build close relationships as their personal physician. Listening also allows me to better identify medical problems and help find individualized solutions that can help patients achieve their wellness goals.

I have been practicing in the Tampa Bay area for over 20 years. My internal medicine practice includes care for hypertension, diabetes, COPD and cardiovascular disease in addition to women’s health. 

My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. I offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments. I also speak Spanish.

After suffering from a variety of illnesses and seeing several specialist Dr Rivera took charge and ordered the right test( saving my life). The personal care she served is unmatched!

from Kazimierz in FL February 28, 2024 for Mayra Rivera, MD

I’ve been fortunate to have Dr. Rivera as my family doctor for many years. She is very generous with her time, sharing knowledge and educating me with great patience. Her persistent search for answers explaining some of my unusual symptoms resulted in the correct diagnosis and the following proper care.

The yearly check-up visit with Dr. Rivera is more like a meeting with a wise friend… See more

I have been a patient of Doctor Rivera for over twenty years. She has been very supportive of my medical needs. Most of these years I have been healthy with very little contact but these last several years have caused me to visit her office much more often. She spends the time answering my questions and addressing my concerns. I’m so glad she is much younger than me so I will have her as my… See more

from Linda in FL February 21, 2024 for Mayra Rivera, MD

I’ve been a patient of Dr Rivera’s for over 20 years. I feel blessed to be a patient of hers. I’ve experienced swelling in my left leg and arm for years with no diagnosis. I mentioned it to her and she referred me for evaluation of possible lymphedema. I was diagnosed with 2 forms and received physical therapy for a month. I am seeing great improvement in the swelling and she was instrumental… See more

Dr. Rivera always takes time with me. She realized I had leukemia immediately after my bloodwork two years ago and referred me to a specialist. She has insured I have the right dose of my blood pressure medication. Her caring personality is so special.

I picked this word because it is my first impression as well as longest memory of Dr. Rivera. When I am in the office, she listens to me intently and is always able to answer questions. I recently needed her on Sunday and she was there for me.

from Diane in FL February 10, 2024 for Mayra Rivera, MD

Doctor Rivera has been my doctor since 2005. My health is very important to me and from my first visit with her I knew she cared about me and her other patients. She spends as much time with me as I need require and she listens to me. She also answers all my questions and gives me her opinion. I always listen to her and her recommendations she has for me, and I follow through with them. All I… See more

from Mary in FL February 10, 2024 for Mayra Rivera, MD

I have been a patient of Dr. Rivera's for about 20 years. She is always willing to listen, to allow me to try natural methods/ supplements for a problem....she is not the doctor who subscribes to the
" my way or the highway" method of medicine.
When my husband was very ill, she was available by phone or messaging. When he passed away, she was there offering sincere… See more

Even before joining MDVIP, Dr. Mayra Rivera has been very important to me. I’ve been seeing her for more than 20 years. She has never rushed through an appointment. She always takes time to listen to me. She is very calm and kind. I feel very comfortable with her, which is why I followed her into the MDVIP practice.
