Exceptional Care for Over 20 Years! I have been a patient of Dr. Rivero for the past 20 plus years, and I can honestly say that my experience has been nothing short of outstanding.

Marilyn is great! They have top notch COVID measures in place to clean the air. I felt incredibly safe. Also was so knowledgeable and really took her time to listen to me and understand my situation. Her staff were also really friendly and fun! They are all fantastic! Wouldn't go anywhere else.

I love my teeth! Dr. Rivero did my cosmetic work last year and gave me porcelain veneers. The staff were so patient and I look like a movie star! Thanks to you Dr. Rivero.

After a traumatic experience with a soon-retiring dentist at another practice, I had become something of a 'dental dropout' for a few years. I finally mustered the courage, asked for recommendations from friends and neighbors, and landed at Dr. Rivero's office. I've been grateful for the compassionate care I've been receiving there. ALL of the staff are sincere, diligent, careful, and sensitive to my anxiety. I happily refer this practice to anyone!

Dr. Rivero specializes in non-judgmental dentistry, so if you are sensitive about your teeth, or being judged by staff or a dentist, have no fear. She is nurturing, caring, empathetic, and above all, her team embodies this philosophy. Go there without fear. She is great.

The staff was very nice and professional. I went in for a dental cleaning & check up. It was the MOST gentle cleaning I've ever had. I feel like I've found my new Dentist. I don't think I could have been any more pleased with Dr. Rivero and the services provided. I highly recommend looking into this office!

Finding a good doctor is difficult, finding a good doctor in a pinch is nearly impossible. Dr. Rivero recently helped me in just such a pinch. As an out-of-towner, I was referred to Dr. Rivero by a friend and could not be more pleased with the service I received. She has wonderful chairside manner and made the whole experience as enjoyable as it could have been.

After having moved to Framingham last year, I was in a terrible skiing accident. I needed to find a dentist quick and Dr. Rivero came highly recommended from a good friend. I was dreading my appointment because of the dental work that needed to be done, but Dr. Rivero was incredible and the experience was stress-free! The staff is very nice and accommodating.

Dr. Rivero is the only dentist the kids that I babysit want to see! I personally am glad not to be nervous before my own visits anymore. She is so highly accredited and kind, I am so glad to be her patient!

Holliston, MA
I just want to say that I dislike going to the dentist. I had a bad experience when I was in my 20's. I have been a patient of Dr Rivero for almost 4 years and now I could tell you that there is no stress when I go there. The hygienists are very thorough and gentle at the same time. The doctor is very patient and knowledgeable. She never pushed me into a treatment that I was not ready to do.

Best Dentist in Mass. No, seriously... I have the utmost faith in her ability and judgment. Her staff is just as good. If you want a dentist that knows what they are doing, does great work with the best materials, in a friendly atmosphere, this is the dentist for you.

Cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Rivero and her staff!!! From how they treat their patients to the cleanliness of the office is just amazing.

Robert G.
Southborough, MA
Dr. Rivero and her staff are the consummate professionals. Everything is first class and state of the art; and her dentistry is provided with the kind of TLC that is rare in this day and age. She is a perfectionist whose work is impeccable. I've been a patient for many, many years and have had most every kind of procedure; and I wouldn't think of using anyone else for my dentistry needs.

Dr. Rivero is great, I highly recommend! She truly goes above and beyond. I had an undiagnosed clenching issue and she made me a custom guard. It's so comfortable and has helped so much. Her staff were also wonderful and a great energy.
Joyce O.
Dr Rivero is the most knowledgeable, thorough dentist we've ever seen! She is an expert in her field. We've had some complicated issues & she always takes time to explain the options in easy to understand language. We're very happy with her professional thorough gentle approach. The four adults and three young children all like her!!!
