Very thorough. Answered questions. To the point.
Dr Rion was excellent in explaining issues with my leg which was not related to my surgery and was adamant that I see my medical dr and vascular right away. All good. Thanks Dr Rion.
Love Dr. Rion and his staff. He just performed my first knee replacement. So far so good.
Appears a little too eager to surgery. Reluctantly agreed to physical Therapy first. Although I may eventually require surgery, I don't believe it necessary at my current pain level (3). He did provide brochure explaining surgical option to aid in informed decision making.
Very caring
Very honest and personable. He is a great doctor.
Dr. Rion is a to the point person & let's you play an active role in planning your care. If you are nervous he gives you information to make a. Informed decision in your care
