This was my first visit with Dr Ristau before a necessary surgery. He was very informed of my condition, complete with all of my prior testing and imaging. He explained things very clearly and answered all of my questions. He took note of my concerns and his after visit summary was very accurate and complete. I was very happy with this first visit with Dr Ristau.
