I highly recommend this practice to anyone interested! The office is very clean and quiet. It is easy to get to and there is ample parking. The entire staff is friendly and professional. The doctor really knows her stuff and takes her time to work with you and educate you as well as answer any questions you might have. They make you feel important and never rushed. I am so happy I made an appointment here.

Don’t understand why my late husband’s name appears and I can’t change it.A friend recommended Ellicott City, and it’s proven to be an awesome facility. The entire staff is genuinely kind and efficient. I’ve never waited beyond 5 minutes to be seen, which makes up for my drive from Baltimore to their office. Even their patrons are friendly. Overall, a great experience along with great results!

The practitioner and the entire staff have been amazing. I’ve never waited for more than 5 minutes to be seen. My side effects are minimal and it’s WORKING! The only downfall is my clothes are too big now! 😁

I recently started my weight loss journey with Rivas. My initial weight loss meeting was scheduled with ease and so are the follow ups. The Doctor was informative on options and provided me guidance on what may work best for me. I have lost 15 pounds in 9 weeks . I highly recommend Rivas.

Everyone here is incredible! Starting with Sam at the front desk, somehow she is able to remember everybody's names, and is incredibly flexible with scheduling appointments. She is on top of here game. Both of the providers at this location are also incredible and they are very interested in your health. They are not just here to get your money and move on. They talk to you about your needs, your wants and your goals. They are very meticulous with tracking results and how you are doing and adjusting medication such as needed. Additionally I have lost about 50 pounds in 9 months. Amazing

Excellent, friendly, and courteous staff! Ilie (PA) takes the time to listen to your concerns and offers sound medical advice and guidance. As others have said, the office is clean and organized. The program works if you make a commitment to the process. Gotta put in the effort. I’ve been coming to this office for close to 2 months and the weight is gradually coming off. In a healthy way and pace. Best decision ever to invest in my health and discover Rivas Medical Weight Loss!
