He is the most amazing doctor I’ve ever encountered ! He performed my daughters major scoliosis surgery, 9 hrs long!!! He got her settled in her room , came back later that night , personally sat her up in the chair and the next morning before he started seeing patients he was back to personally get her up and walking , side by side with her ! Came back again that night !!! what a man!!!! Still 5 years later caring about her 💕

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Experience

Our visit with Dr. Alexandra was truly amazing. She took her time with us and created such a calm, welcoming environment. What stood out most was how easily she connected with my teenage daughter speaking with confidence, patience, and genuine care that made her feel comfortable opening up.

This appointment felt like much more than a routine doctor’s visit. Dr. Alexandra provided valuable knowledge and guidance that helped both my daughter and me better understand her needs. I left feeling informed, supported, and reassured.

We would absolutely return and highly recommend her to other families, especially those with teens who may feel nervous or hesitant about medical visits.

Dr. D was very helpful, articulate, and knowledgeable.
Most families pay the same – or even less – out-of-network. Watch Dr. Rieger explain.Learn More
