Dr Rion’s the best! He replaced both of my knees, left one year, right the next and I’m grateful every day. Thank you Dr Rion! Love your pups!
Wonderful Doctor. I wouldn’t see anyone else for my knee. He’s the guy to go to if you need knee surgery. Takes the time to listen to any questions that you have.
Dr Rion is great and easy to talk to
Dr Rion explained my situation and alternatives thoroughly. Never felt the deep steroid shot. Which I was thankful for.
He is very good.and listens to you.
Done what he had to do and I was out of their no waiting long 🙏❤️
Great doctor!
Came in with a knee that only hurt when kneeling and twisting. After the appt, it hasn’t stopped hurting no matter what. Hoping it’s just from poking and will feel better tomorrow. Can barely bend it now.
Always honest and good advice, i value his approach.
1st visit, liked him alot
