- TJ H.5/02/2025We arrived 15 minutes early and thought maybe we would get in a bit earlier than my appointment time. As it turned out, we had to wait for the first time. Once inside the room, we waited a few more minutes until the doctor came in. He fist bumped us and immediately apologized for keeping us waiting! Never has a doctor taken accountability for their actions. I was impressed!!Read MoreRead LessJan B.5/02/2025

He listens to your problems and give you outstanding advice. I am so happy to deal with him,
But his office staff could do better. I’ve called them four times in the past and left a message and nobody ever called me back. And when you’re in the office, you never hear the phone ring so they must automatically go to answering service not the way to run an office, Jim DailyRead MoreRead LessJim5/02/2025I wonder if we’re talking about the same office and doctor as others in this survey.
I had nothing but a superior experience with Citrus Cardiology and Dr Rivero. He too the time to talk and explain things and went out of his way to provide extra input. The staff followed his example.
I’m a very critical person when it comes to health care in Florida and have nothing but good things to say about this physician and staff.Read MoreRead LessSkip A.5/02/2025

Inverness, Florida is located in eastern Citrus County, on the western shore of the connected Tsala Apopka and Henderson lakes. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 7.7 square miles. Within the city are 330 acres of land reserved for passive and active park usage. As of the census2] of 2000, there were 6,789 people, 3,190 households, and 1,805 families residing in the city.
The city of Inverness was originally named “Tompkinsville”. Settlement of the area dates back to 1868.[8] A. D. Tompkins, later known as “Uncle Alf”, started the community. To attract newcomers to the town, he established a mail service and helped erect the first sawmill in the county. He gave his brother-in-law, Frank M. Dampier, Sr., a lot to build a store, with Dampier becoming the first merchant in town. Dampier is credited with laying out the town and naming it Tompkinsville.
Not many years later, the town of Tompkinsville was sold to a firm in Jacksonville, and the name was changed to “Inverness”.[9] According to the late historian Mary McRae of Homosassa, Inverness is named directly after a Scottish city of the same name. Inverness is Great Britain’s most northerly city, and “the capital of the Highlands”, with a population of 46,870. The story goes that Inverness, Florida got its name from a lonely Scotsman, far away from his home, who gazed upon the blue waters of the Native American-named Tsala Apopka Lake and thought the area looked like the headlands and lochs of the area surrounding Inverness in Scotland. Inver is a Gaelic word meaning “mouth of the river”, the River Ness flows through the Scottish city Inverness, so Inverness literally means the mouth of the River Ness, which flows from Loch Ness, which is one of Scotland’s most visited areas. Since the Florida city lies at the foot of one of the chain of lakes in Citrus County, Inverness seemed an appropriate name.
According to official city documentation, Inverness was incorporated on September 18, 1919.
Over twelve downtown buildings have been recognized by the historic plaque program and are presently active places for business. Central Business Development grants have helped to retain the historic character of the city. In 1961 the historic courthouse downtown was used to film the courtroom scene of “Follow That Dream”, featuring Elvis Presley.
The city has been designated a “Gateway Community” by the Florida Trail Association. Since 1995, Inverness has been recognized as a Tree City USA by the National Arbor Day Foundation and the US Forest Service. In 2009, Inverness was named “City of the Year” by the Forty and Eight, a national veterans’ organization.
Inverness, about 40 miles southwest of Ocala, is bordered by forests and lakes, and the area’s natural resources have been protected and managed to provide a wealth of outdoor opportunities for family enjoyment.
Pet-friendly Fort Cooper State Park boasts 710 acres for fishing, swimming, sunbathing, youth camping, canoeing, hiking, boat tours, and nature viewing, and is the scene of an annual re-enactment of the Second Seminole War in March.
Race fans will love the Citrus County Speedway and its figure-eight race course.
The historic Citrus County Courthouse, built in 1912 and recently renovated, now serves as a museum and headquarters for the Citrus County Historical Society.
The Valerie Theatre, built in 1926-27, was reopened in 2015 as a cultural hub for movies, concerts, plays, educational exhibits, and special events.
Also in Inverness are a golf and country club, affordable hotels and motels, riverside inns, full-service resorts, and charming bed and breakfasts and campgrounds that are ready to welcome you.
