I have no complaints, on the contrary I am more than grateful to Dr. Ristau for operating on me and giving it the importance that my condition required. His work team was excellent in my recovery. He is a first-class professional and a very charismatic and attentive person. I wish all my doctors were like him.

We found my cancer immediately following my wedding. Dr Ristau worked with me and my wife in every session to answer our questions ans thoroughly as possible, listened to our concerns and reassured us, and got the soonest surgery date available. I trust his expert skill and level of care. Aetna is undergoing negotiations with UConn and I have reached out to them to let them know what a major blow to their clients it would be to lose a doctor like him in their network.
