Dr. Steven Gaglio Rivas
Dr. Rivas has been following his calling for over 25 years. Having owned and operated two successful cosmetic dentistry practices in Silicon Valley and in Napa Valley, it wasn’t until 2010 that Dr. Rivas moved his family to Texas. He successfully practiced at numerous hospitals and offices around Texas before finally settling in Kerrville, in 2019. He has a long family history in the Lone Star State. He and his wife made the choice to return their family back to a more simple, familial, and traditional lifestyle that reflects their beliefs. Couldn't be anywhere, but Texas!

He is a member of The Hill Country Forum For Dental Excellence chapter of The Seattle Study Club.
