Absolutely a miracle worker!
I have seen Dr Pivec before. He explained why I was having pain in my knee and gave me an option on how to relieve the pain. I’m considering the treatment at this time.
Dr. Pivec is terrific. He is caring and competent. Explains exactly what is going to happen and executes with care. A+
Friendly, very good at explains things to you.
Easy to communicate with. Explains everything. Most importantly. I have had great results with my knee replacement.
Very nice ..easy to talk to
Excellent, Dr
Very informative and upbeat! He takes the guesswork out of knee replacement surgery and does an excellent job when it’s done!! I couldn’t be happier with the end result and I have referred him to people when asked about my surgery.
Made me feel at ease. Feel confident that I'm getting the best care
