I confirm what others have said. I was diagnosed with early breast cancer, he explained everything. He performed my surgery, and follow up. Absolutely fantastic. He has a open door policy and welcomes questions. He deals with his own patients and doesn't just pass you off to the nurse. Highly recommend him.

We can't say enough good things about Dr. Rivard. He saved my husband's life for sure. He performed a very difficult surgery in September of 2022 and his follow-up care has been exceptional. We have been so fortunate to have him.

I can't really expand on all of the comments already given about Dr. Rivard. I have never known a doctor like him. Everyone dreads the diagnosis of cancer. I certainly did. After walking around in a daze for a week or so, I had my first appointment with Dr. Rivard. His kindness, compassion, real concern and patience made me begin to see that I just might get through this ordeal. Not only is he a gifted surgeon, he must be "top of the class" in bedside manner. He knows his patients. He cares about them. If you have a question he will explain it until he's sure you understand (complete with pictures). I was in the hospital for more than 3 weeks and other than when he took his time off, he visited me every day. If he wasn't going to be available he made sure he had a doctor visit me. I'm sure CancerCare is blessed with many wonderful doctors, but Dr. Rivard is in a class of his own.
