Patient Reviews (7)

We post all reviews unless they include profanity, are off topic or discuss other providers, or may risk the privacy of a patient.

  • Dr was able to answer all the questions I had and was very informative and explained everything so it was easy to understand.

  • Would recommend because they explained to me the conditions and the next steps to what to do very knowledge in what he was saying and helpful

  • Dr. Louis Bivona seemed tired at 10:30 am and dismissive of my pain and concerns. I can still walk, get over it, sums up his attitude. I've reached out with questions about medication and follow-up treatment and not had a response.

  • I appreciated the time the NP (or PA) took with me even before the MD came into the room to explain the results of my MRI and other questions that I had.

  • Dr was good at ordering tests, MRI, etc., however, when the MRI came back showing mostly no problems, he acted as if I should not be complaining, and ignoring my pain.

  • My aches & pains are a serious issue, I wouldn't be there if it wasn't a constant problem for me

  • I would recommend Dr. Bivona to anyone without any reservations whatsoever.
