About Angela Auring Rivera, AGPCNP

After years of caring for cardiac patients, Angela changed focus to orthopedic surgery. She believes in providing competent, compassionate, holistic care to patients.

After building that trusting relationship, Angela helps educate patients to achieve their health goals.

In my doctor's own words,"I have been doing this for 30+ years and your knee is easily in the top 3 of the worst I have ever seen." But to see me move around (with a slight limp but without a cane) is a miracle in itself. All of the is because of the great care Angela provided.

She speaks quickly and most of her time is spent looking at the computer. Even when responding to one of her questions she tended to look at the computer rather than me.i also thought it odd that she never addressed me by my name. She did identify herself however .
