Always treats me like a person and listens to my concerns. Never felt like just a number. 5 stars and would refer to others.
Dr Rineer is patient, kind and very thorough. He makes sure you understand the problem, the options, and the procedure to get you feeling better. I am am having a second surgery with him (different area) and I am very confident it will go as smoothly as the last.
Very helpful and low key. Made therapy recommendations and allowed me to decide what I wanted to do.
