Primary Care clinician, Golfran Rivera, in Fayetteville, NC

Hi, I’m Golfran Rivera, PA-C.

I earned my Master of Physician Assistant Studies from the University of Nebraska Medical Center through the Department of Defense Interservice Physician Assistant Program. I then had the honor of serving as the Primary Care Provider for the 2-504 Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 82nd Airborne Division before being medically retired after 13 years of service.

I love practicing family medicine, following patients through various stages of life and serving as a partner in their health journey. I also have a background in sports medicine, using techniques like manual therapy, dry needling, and corrective exercise for management of acute injuries and chronic pain. This also includes the diagnosis and treatment of neuroplastic pain—a type of pain rooted not in mechanical dysfunction, but in the brain's improper signaling, often influenced by past or current stressors.

I’m especially passionate about the work I do with patients through Integrative Stress Healing. This is a unique approach that I use with patients to help address the root cause of emotional and physical stressors that wreak havoc on our health. You can learn more about that here.

Whether you’re looking for general primary care for yourself or your loved ones, needing help getting and staying active, or wanting support in overcoming life’s challenging stressors, I would love the opportunity to serve you.

At my practice, you’ll experience medicine as it's truly intended to be: personal and thoughtful - TrueCare.
