Dr. Riopelle says, "I believe that engaging patients to play an active role in their care is the key to the best experience and superior health outcomes. Clear and direct communication lays the foundation for the provider-patient relationship, and I pride myself on always trying to listen attentively with an open mind to understand all aspects of a symptom or issue.
