A board-certified internist, Dr. Vivas focuses on delivering attentive, personalized care to adults with a broad range of medical concerns. He graduated from the Universidad Nacional Pedro Henriquez Urena in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, then completed his residency at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York, a setting that exposed him to a wide variety of patient populations and diagnoses. During this time, he learned that internal medicine is not just about treating conditions—it’s about truly seeing the whole person. Today, Dr. Vivas applies that knowledge to address conditions like heart disease, respiratory disorders, gastrointestinal issues, kidney disease, infectious diseases, and the general scope of adult health. Fluent in both English and Spanish, he emphasizes open communication to help patients feel comfortable. His special interests also include assisting patients in treating diabetes and obesity. Dr. Vivas’s philosophy is simple yet powerful: “Treat every patient as you would treat your closest family members.” He adds, “As a physician, I would not prescribe a course of treatment that I would not take myself or recommend to my loved ones. This is how I honor the trust my patients place in me.”
