Patient Reviews
Dec 27, 2015
Dr. Riveron was not my surgeon, but a partner with Dr. Johnkowski, who did perform the surgery. Dr. Riveron was 'on' over Christmas weekend and checked on my a couple times and also removed my drain. He listens, is attentive and a very caring man. I've not seen either of them in clinic yet, only as a patient here at Wausau Aspirus.
