Very thorough and professional.
Always pleasant and professional from all of the staff.had performed surgery on my left hand..carpal tunnel release surgery to be exact. I was in such excruciating pain at night with the aching, numbness and tingling, I thought it would never go away.The aching pain has completely dissipated. The numbness is there and I am confident that it will definitely go away as well, but in time. I saw him today because I was a bit uneasy about how my hand was looking. There was absolutely nothing that he did wrong I'm just a worry wart. He fixed me right up. They probably thought that I was a complete and total fool because I was wondering why the incision looked as if it was splitting open.. of course there was no blood but I still needed that appointment to reassure myself. Very long story short, Dr. Rineer NEVER disappoints me.
Dr. Rineer is fabulous. Great personality and very thorough. Not to mention a skilled and knowledgeable doctor.
Dr. Rineer put me at ease immediately explaining about my surgery and what to expect afterwards. I would highly recommend Dr. Rineer.
Excellent doctor. Very compassionate!!
Visit with Dr Rineer went well. Questions and concerns I had were addressed professionally. Overall, positive outcome.
Very professional and also personable. Very informative. Glad my friends referred me along with my doctor. He gave me information if further care is needed
Very kind, friendly, and professional. He’s operated on me two times now and I’m very pleased with his work.
Dr Rineer explained everything in detail but terms that were easy to understand. I highly recommend him
Great Doctor...
