Dr Pivec was great! Unfortunately I can’t say the same about the experience with scheduling my appointments or the person I spoke with on the phone when trying to schedule my appointments. She made mistakes on every appointment as well as giving the wrong code to my insurance which caused so many problems . She was then rude to me over the phone. I ask for her to have a supervisor call me to discuss. I never received a call from anyone , and of course when I tried to schedule my next appointment she screwed it up again.
Very personable and professional
Explained my situation right to the details and gave me detailed medical advice . Very thankful!
I appreciate the time Dr. Pivec took to answer all my questions and concerns as he treated my Pseudo Gout condition (knees). He has great understanding of the excruciating pain and is very willing to offer several treatment possibilities for helping me. I highly recommend him and would definitely go to him for a knee replacement if that need arises !! 🤗
Dr Pivec took the time to explain the surgery and answered all our questions I feel very comfortable about my upcoming hip replacement surgery
This was my first interaction with Dr Pivec, and I liked how he listened and explained. He is a good choice for me.
Best job
Very lucky to have had him and his team!!!! The very best.
Dr. Robert Pivec is an outstanding orthopedic surgeon. He has great bedside manner. He is very patient, understanding and empathetic. He listens to your concerns, reviews your x-rays, and identifies options to resolve your issues. He clearly states in plain English what he recommended to resolve my issue. In my case, it was determined that a total knee replacement was needed. He immediately scheduled it and performed the surgery. I am in PT right now and making great progress. I would highly recommend him to anyone that has knee issues. Also, his front office staff are very helpful and pleasant to deal with.
Dr. Pivec, Has my total trust! He has replaced both my left and right hips in two years, each time with confidence providing me with all the information and care to achieve full recovery in months. I am so fortunate he was recommended for me. I now recommend Dr.Pivec for you!
