When I moved to the area 20 years ago Dr. Rivington was kind enough to take myself and my newborn which she had delivered on as new patients. After the birth of my second child Dr. Rivington was doing a complete physical on me and suggested a colonoscopy because of secondary relatives who had had cancer and thank goodness she did. My previous family doctor would never have ordered this test and because of her I am here today. I never felt rushed during an appointment and I always felt listened to especially during some difficult times during perimenopause. She has been a blessing for myself and my two kids.

I became a guinea pig for Dr. Rivington, as she experimented with different birth control pills. When one had bad side effects, Dr. R would put me on another. All this switching greatly affected my hormones and body. When I went to her with another issue that I kept having, her prescriptions always made the problem worse. I can say that I am so thankful to her though because it completely turned me away from medicine and doctors. I had to learn to heal myself through nutrition, herbs, fasting, supplements, exercise. For that, I am truly grateful.

I am not sure that Dr. Rivington believes in, or understands, mental health. She does not seem to take mental health concerns seriously. She does refer to specialists when asked to, but does not come to this conclusion on her own. She does not err on the side of caution when it comes to mental health concerns, which is concerning to me. She has failed members of my family on numerous occasions when it comes to mental health and addiction. If you do your research ahead of time she will provide you with the services/recommendations/referrals that you seek but unless you are prepared to tell her what you need she assumes all is well.

Best thing we ever did for our family was seek out and find a new doctor/clinic. Sadly, it seems that Beth does not know when she is in over her head, especially where mental health is concerned. Lives were almost lost as a result of her apparent sense of omnipitence. Important lesson learned, **never stop advocating for better care**. NEVER. Beth, I'm sorry we cut into your golf time but emergencies don't take schedules into consideration.

Beth always makes me feel comfortable to talk to her about any issue. Great doctor! She is not afraid to refer you on to a specialist when needed.

Over the last few years she has made numerous mistakes leading to serious delays on emergency services or completely missed major issues that are instantly picked up on by her replacement (during one of her many long term leaves each year). I hate that my wife is stuck with her, this doctor needs to retire or half her patient load.
