Rita Viera is a very nice woman. I liked her very much. She is very kind. She's also intelligent and listened to me and answered my questions. She got me a print out of her recommendations so I didn't have to keep taking notes. She really wanted to help me, and she did help me. She is a wonderful person and a wonderful nurse practitioner.

Nothing.. my first visit with NP Rita Vieira.. she was excellent, listened and discussed my concerns and came up with a plan.. very pleased and said if no improvement to call !
This provider goes above and beyond
Rita was extremely knowledgeable, extremely efficient. She's one of the smartest health professionals I've ever known. She knew more about my parathyroidism than anyone else I've met. And she couldn't have been more helpful than what she was. I just think she was absolutely wonderful. And she's a credit to her profession. And I'm so delighted that I got somebody who was so helpful. And I think you're very blessed to have her.
Rita is always thorough and up to date with all of my charts and specialists and my personal health.
My doctor Rita is excellent and is easy to talk with and understands my needs. She is always helpful with information that I need for my health car.
The provider listened to my concerns answered all my questions and made a plan moving forward. She was very kind and empathetic to my concerns and was well aware of my history
Everybody was courteous, kind and very knowledgeable and broke it down into Laymans terms so I would understand easily. They were very smart and I was under the impression. They all knew exactly what they were talking about.
Very knowledgeable about my health needs. Listened to my concerns attentively.
You can't improve Rita she's the BEST!
Rita Vieira RN is amazing! She is a great listener, proactive and thorough in explaining things in minute detail.Rita is caring, attentive as well as professional! It is obvious that she is dedicated to her profession and her patients.
It took 5 phone calls before I was given the opportunity to talk to Rita. I can understand one call to get my problem and symptoms ready for her to analyze on our phone call but most of that was repetition.
I feel that I received excellent care.
She was nice answered all my questions,Curtis and kind .
Rita was awesome. She explained the medication she was giving me and how it could react and what to do if it did!
Rita is amazing!
Rita Vieira is not only thorough, but she is forward thinking and has been able to guide me through an almost unnavigable health history. She is probably one of the smartest women I know.
Rita was fantastic!
I thought nurse [Name] was excellent. She was concerned about me and she kept me very, very informed.
Today I saw Rita NP. She was very supportive. She gave me a full evaluation. I appreciate her a lot. I felt fully taken care of. Thank you very much!
My experience with Rita Vieira was excellent. From the moment she came into the examining room, she had already looked over my chart, my MRIs, etc. We discussed my issues and she gave me a thorough examination of my back and potential problems that may be present. She is very friendly, professional and caring person. I would highly recommend her.
Speaking with a patient and not to a patient is always a plus. This visit was a pleasure in regard to working together. I left the office feeling that I had been heard. Thank you.
Rita is very patient and professional. She listened to my concerns and gave me good sound medical advice. I feel she really cares about you as a person as well as her patient. I'm glad I get to follow up with her in a couple of weeks.
This provider is excellent!
exceptional care!!!
Rita Viera is the first provider I have had in a very long time who took the time to actually look at my medical history and review it all with me. And she worked with myself and my son to provide a plan for my care. She wasn't in a rush to look through my medical history and ask questions to be sure she was getting the details right. I truly appreciate all the time she took with me today. Thank you again, Rita.
Everything was spot onu00A0
Ms. Vieira was very helpful, thorough, caring and easy to talk with.
I'm always treated respectfully and my opinions and concerns are listened to thoughtfully and professionally. I feel when I bring up any new symptoms they are evaluated and the conclusions are in my best interests.
Very satisfied that I was able to get a telehealth appt same day and start using my meds same day
The nurse practitioner Rita Vieira was excellent. Thank you Rita.I left the office feeling really great.
Everyone is pleasant in the office of Dr. DaCuhna. The lab personnel are very good too.
The nurse practitioner, Rita, was really good. She was patient. She explained everything. She had answers for my questions. She was knowledgeable about my health. The things that she didn't know, she said she went to find out. Actually, I prefer the nurse practitioner to the doctor. Thanks.
Rita was attentive and very kind and knowledgeableu00A0
I love Rita Vieira. She is the best nurse practitioner. She listens. She's lovely. I feel safe and secure with her and I give her a hug every time I leave.
She was well prepared to go over the results of my blood test.
I just wanted to say that Rita Vieira was probably one of the best physicians I've ever been to. She was very thorough, very caring, took her time, didn't make me feel like I was in a rush or she was in a rush. And I truly think she should be commended for that. And it was just probably one of the best experiences I've had at South Coast. So kudos to Rita and thank you.
So impressed with NP Rita Vieira, she remembered everything from my last visit with her a few months ago and even reached out pre-visit to check and see if my symptoms were similar. She took the time to look into any possible allergic reactions with my new prescription, and while she was busy and quick, she was not in a rush to leave and made sure to answer all my questions. Only my second time seeing Ms Vieira and I am so happy to have her on my health care team
Rita was wonderful loved my visit with her I asked many questions she answered all so I understood answers I could not have had a better doctors visit thank you Rita you were fantastic
The provider was amazing and answered every question. She went above and beyond as far as I'm concerned to address my needs

She listened to my complaints. She let me speak. She was thorough in her examination and her instructions and I just felt very, very comfortable with her and I think she was an excellent provider.
I sent a message on Thursday evening and was called early Friday morning and had an appointment Friday afternoon. Everyone was polite and Rita really listened to my concerns. I am very happy with my care.
The provider was very prepared for the visit. It was clear she had done a thorough review of my record. She listened attentively to my concerns and discussed recommendations with me to ensure my goals were being met. I have always had excellent experiences in this office and this new-to-me provider was no exception.
Answered my questions and helped me ways that was needed
She read my file before she saw me and addressed prior and current issues. Very knowledgable and able to speak well to the problems.
Rita is just plain amazing! She is so caring and knowledgeable. Felt so much better seeing her. She trying to get to the bottom of real problem I'm having. What a comfort to have her be there thru this.
Not a thing ! Spot on diagosis & ordered all the tests I researched beforehand without me mentioning a word. Rita was extremely knowledgeable in my issue & definitely prepared before my visit as she knew my history & this was the first time I had an appointment with her
