Dr. Mónica López-Rivera, DC
We are thrilled to introduce an exceptional figure in the world of chiropractic, Dr. Mónica López Rivera, the clinical director of Element Chiropractic! Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and raised in the charming city of Guaynabo, Dr. López Rivera carries a passion for health and well-being in her DNA. She is also bilingual, fluent in both her native Spanish and English, enabling her to connect and communicate effectively with a diverse patient base.
Her journey began at the University of Puerto Rico in Río Piedras, where she pursued her pre-medical studies, sowing the seeds of her commitment to excellence. With an unbreakable spirit and a heart dedicated to healing, she continued her education at Life University in Marietta, Georgia, where she earned her Doctorate in Chiropractic. But she didn't stop there; Dr. López Rivera deepened her knowledge by specializing in sports injury management and completed an internship focused on pediatric patients and pregnant women, becoming a true expert in these fields.
Virginia had the honor of being her home for several years, where she practiced in Annandale and Woodbridge, leaving an indelible mark through her two private practices. With a special dedication to personal injury management, she attended thousands of patients affected by car accidents, demonstrating unparalleled empathy and expertise.
Life led Dr. López Rivera and her family to the sunny state of Florida, where she has continued her mission to provide top-tier chiropractic care. Married to Dr. Jean Carlos Cruz, also a chiropractor, and mother of a wonderful daughter, she shares her life with an adorable dog named Logan.
