Patient Reviews
Jun 10, 2019
Dr Rivers did my son’s shoulder surgery. He was always available to answer questions before and after surgery. His staff is knowledgeable and fast to respond. Even the hospital staff the day of surgery was professional and kept us updated throughout the entire process. I felt comfortable and trusted Dr Rivers with my son’s surgery and recovery. We went to another doctor first and did not feel as reassured as we did with Dr Rivers and Methodist Orthopedics
