Dr. Pivec is great. I have a torn tendon and ligament and need a shot every couple years. Dr.Pivec gives me a shot right into the joint in my hip and I barely feel it. Thanks Dr. Pivec for a great job.
Very good service!
Hip is good. I’m shaking uncontrollably though and just threw up. I can’t seem to get better.
I was extremely apprehensive about my hip replacement surgery. Dr. Pivec, was extremely patient and helpful and describing what would happen and what to expect. He has an excellent bedside manner. He is responsive to questions and I fully understood the process before I went in. Best thing I ever did. Dr. Pivec, is top-notch and every department.
Fantastic
He gave good council and an honest opinion. Didn’t rush me. I liked him VERY MUCH.
