Very thoughtful and helpful with my issue. Would definitely go there again if need be. Thank you Dr. Pivec
I cannot speak more highly of Doctor Pivec. By far the most sincere, knowledgeable and skilled doctors I have come in contact with. He truly cares for his patients and his fellow co-workers have said his bed side manner is how he really is. I have had two knee replacements from Dr Pivec, which are perfect and would recommend him to the highest degree. Fantastic Doctor!
Very pleased with Dr Pivec
Recommend for hip surgery. Had an easy and great recovery. Will have him do my right knee next.
