Quinn Rivera, MD

Dr. Quinn Rivera is the Chief of Sales and Surgeon Success at ClearChoice Cataract Counselor, where he leads surgeon onboarding, implementation, and ongoing practice relationships. With a background spanning both medicine and entrepreneurship, he works closely with surgeons and their teams to ensure they are getting the most out of ClearChoice and creating a better cataract education experience for their patients.

Dr. Rivera earned his medical degree from the University of Washington School of Medicine in 2022. Throughout medical school, he intended to pursue a career in ophthalmology, ultimately applying and interviewing for ophthalmology residency programs.

His interest in ophthalmology was shaped in large part by his international work in Ghana, where he participated in multiple cataract outreach trips alongside Dr. John Welling. During these outreaches, Dr. Rivera helped facilitate efforts to provide sight-restoring cataract surgery to patients with limited access to eye care. The experience gave him an early appreciation for the profound impact of cataract surgery and ultimately led to a lasting relationship with Dr. Welling.

After graduating from medical school, Dr. Rivera made the unconventional decision to step away from the traditional residency path and pursue entrepreneurship. In the years that followed, he helped build and operate businesses across several industries, developing a particular passion for building relationships, working with people, and creating systems that help organizations grow.

ClearChoice represents a unique opportunity to bring those two chapters of his career together. His medical training and background in ophthalmology allow him to understand the clinical environment and the challenges surgeons face, while his experience in business helps him work alongside practices to successfully implement ClearChoice, strengthen patient education, and maximize the value of the platform.

As Chief of Sales and Surgeon Success, Dr. Rivera remains closely involved with practices well beyond their initial adoption of ClearChoice. From onboarding and implementation to ongoing support and strategy, his focus is on building lasting relationships with surgeons and helping their teams use ClearChoice as effectively as possible.

Dr. Rivera lives in Cody, Wyoming, with his wife and three children. Outside of ClearChoice, he enjoys spending time with his family, being involved in his local church, fitness, podcasting, and collaborating with friends on meaningful projects.
