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.

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

Rita is wonderful. Spends time explaining and also listening. Can't say enough about heru00A0
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
Rita. And staff were very attentive to all my worries and questions. Rita is excellent at her job for explaining everything.

I have such a good relationship with Rita the NP, she is always there for me and will answer any questions at any time. Best NP I have ever had.
I called and was seen within hours, thank you for your continued commitment to care
Rita is one of the best providers I've ever had. She has a broad range approach where she uses her knowledge to evaluate my situation and incorporate all of my medication. I'm on a ton of medication, but Rita seems to make it very simple for me to understand and how to move forward as best I can, is no doubt the best provider I've ever had.
Rita took the time to explain everything and did not rush through anything. She had a wonderful way with patients and made my mother very comfortable
Rita did a great job with on boarding from my old provider. A great customer/patient experience!
Rita the nurse practitioner taken care of me had to be the best I've ever had. And that's saying a lot cuz I've seen the doctor a lot in my life. Professional smart and courteous. She is just a nice person makes you feel comfortable and safe took care of me awesome. The best and thank you Rita
I think I am suffering with a kidney infection. I loved not having to go in but instead could speak to someone over the phone. I just needed a test and there is nothing the provider would have done differently in office, So I appreciate it because it's one less day I need to call out of work! I think we need to do more of these kind of appointments when applicable.
