What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
It is difficult to get an appointment with many doctors in today’s world. I was pleased that my general doctor made an appointment for me and although I had to wait to get in, it wasn’t an emergency so in today’s world it is what is happening. When I did get in, dr. was prompt, listened, and explained the process, I will have to take to get better. I enjoyed the visit and felt he has me on the right track for my injured shoulder.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
My bicep surgery start to finish felt smooth and well-organized. The staff at the Riecker facility leading up to my surgery was extremely friendly and made me comfortable from time of arrival to finish. Everyone was great, but Tonya was exceptional. You could tell she was passionate about her job and her care for patients. Jill and Paige were also very friendly leading up to the surgery. Dr. Cox was great at explaining the numbing procedural and everything leading to surgery. It was nice to speak with Dr. Maxwell pre-surgery, his explanation of the procedure was appreciated. I would 100% use this team again.
