Dr. D’agostini was very professional in her bedside manner and clearly knew what she was doing. I took my son in after he did a backflip and fell on his arm. His arm looked fine (I honestly thought he was faking it initially) but he would cry every time he had to move it. I took him in and she felt his arm and realized he had “nursemaid’s elbow”. Popped it right back into place in 2 seconds. Of course my son cried for a little, but he was perfectly fine a few minutes later. Bonus points because this office took us in on short notice absolutely last minute. Thanks again D’agostini and the Pediatric Orthopedic Center team!

We always have a great experience with Dr. Reiger. Great bed side manner. Never left waiting past our scheduled appointment time. Dr. Reiger sees my son every 6 months for monitoring of his scoliosis and he is my son's favorite doctor. He is conservative and not an alarmist.

The staff was lovely, they were efficient and friendly and didn’t take long to get me back. When we got back to Dr. Rieger, it took him less than 10 minutes to diagnose me, and he clearly knew what was wrong. He was dead on with my symptoms and prescribed an anti-inflammatory for my synovitis. Overall, my experience at Dr. Rieger’s office was phenomenal and would 100% recommend.

Dr Solomon is a very gifted and skilled doctor/surgeon. He diagnosed and performed surgery repairing my sural nerve and removing an inflamed bursa pressing on my Achilles tendon., etc. He puts his patients at the center of his medical approach and his empathy and care is 5 Stars all the way. Dr Solomon removed severe pain I had in my ankle and calf for over a year and gave me my mobility and life back. Bravo Dr Solomon- the “best in class” of the medical profession.

Dr. Rieger is the ONLY doctor that we trust with our son's club foot care!He is Ponsetti certified and knows how to properly care for a club foot. He has years of knowledge and experiance. He has silly dad jokes & may seem serious at 1st but he is kind & will patiently answer all your questions. And boyyyy did we ask him questions, he never seemed annoyed with us & always stayed patience despite us asking the same questions twice as worried & concerned parents.Dr. Rieger has been our saving grace! We went to 2 different docs & both messed up our son's foot care. Dr. Rieger set us in the right direction.If you are a parent with a club foot child do not hesitate to see Dr. Rieger!Parking on premises. Can get fitted & order foot braces right in the office!!P.S. the wait was never horrible for us like some reviews state. We have had a great experiance with the other office staff as well. Kind, patient, and caring staff.

Dr. Rieger has an excellent bedside manner and truly makes the patient the focus of the visit by including/engaging them in the conversation instead of speaking about them to their parents.

She is also compassionate and attuned to the mental health effects of injury, taking care to explain to my teenager how soon he’ll be back to sports and a “normal” life. She really cares about the whole patient (and their family), and is committed to finding answers and recovery options that work. She is the best!

He made my second spine surgery easier to handle. He took the time to address my concerns answer my questions etc. Dr Rieger never made me feel like I was less than or marginalized which is a breath of fresh air for those of us who have chronic spine problems. Most doctors don’t care about the patient just the billing opportunity, not Dr Rieger. For example I am afraid of needles and most nurses, doctors and lab techs make me feel like a fool / cry baby crazy person “ oh it doesn’t hurt” “ aren’t you a little old to be scared of needles “? yeah I know it doesn’t hurt and you’re right I’m old enough to be your mother probably but is not a fear of pain, it’s an anxiety that build to the point of hyperventilation and passing out. I will try to avoid it all together to the point I have had health problems not addressed in the past. Dr Rieger never treated me like I was a hysterical woman or an annoyance for my irrational fear of needles and it helped when going into a major spine operation. Your scared anyway . I will always remember his kindness in that respect.I get compliments all the time on the scar from this surgery people are always blown away by how perfectly he realigned my tattoo after he cut it in half! The staples and inside stitches were exact so you can barely see it was cut . Just a super nice guy with an equally great bedside manner who cares about the process his patients will go through before and after the surgery. Im ready to give him a call for another surgery we knew was necessary and I can’t imagine going with any other surgeon/ spine guy ! 😁.

After thoroughly listening to my son's and my explanation of what was going on and checking my son's symptoms, he gave us a diagnosis complete with a full explanation for me and then explained it further for my son (11) to be sure he completely understood what caused the issue, how the suggested brace would help, and what to expect going forwardWe both left the office feeling very relieved and comfortable with what we were told.

Everyone was nice and was very children friendly, which is good but rare, our nurse Jennifer and Dr. D'Agostini explained exactly what they were going to do directly to my daughter so there were no surprises for her. While it is a pretty far drive for me, I would definitely go again and I would definitely recommend for anyone that has small children.

I’ve taken my son to see Dr. Friedman a few times now and every time is a great experience. The staff is always friendly and helpful and there’s never really much of a wait to be seen. Dr. Friedman’s bedside manner is also great as she takes the time listen to concerns and thoroughly explain findings and treatment plans.

Just left Dr. Friedman’s office and so happy I did. She caught a fracture on my sons X-ray that the ED missed and casted him right away. So relieved I went for a second opinion and that she did not hesitate to take the proper intervention.

Doc Rieger is a phenomenal doctor and a fine man. My son had a 56 degree curve that the doctor transformed to as normal as humanly possible during 9.5 hours of surgery. My son walking within 24 hours. His dedication and professialism are unmatched. My son, Yasir and I were comfortable with him and his fine staff, instantly. His quirky jokes only enhanced our comfort. Doc Reiger provided expertise, time and care to and for us, and we are eternally grateful. We cannot correctly express the altitude of our appreciation.Diamond and Yasir Burchett

Visited for a 2nd opinion after an awful experience with the first doctor we saw. Dr. Friedman was amazing. She took time to talk to my son, ask him questions and examine him thoroughly. She fitted him for a more appropriate higher quality brace and ensured we had everything we needed for school accommodations. She didn't rush us at all and was very kind. Highly recommend!

He was knowledgeable, kind, patient, trustworthy, good with my son, and explained everything. He listened to our concerns and considered them.We visited him at both his locations and both had clean rooms and attentive staff.My son is now healed , without surgery.Everything I could have ever wanted and expected from great healthcare was provided by Dr.Strassberg.

I found Dr. Strassberg on a Facebook Moms group. And Dr. Strassberg was exactly what I had hoped for for my son’s pediatric orthopedic doctor!!!My son had nursemaids elbow that couldn’t be put back into place at PM Pediatrics. Dr. S made my son, my husband and I extremely comfortable through the whole process. He explained what was wrong and how he was going to fix it. Then he was extremely cute with him (even though he was crying in pain) and fixed his elbow in one move. If anything happens again, I will go back to him in a heartbeat.I highly recommend Dr. Strassberg to any mom who is looking for a pediatric orthopedic doctor for their child.

We were incredibly lucky that we happened to see Dr. Lin during his emergency walk-in hours when my 9 year old broke her arm. This was her first break and she was very nervous. She is very active and plays tennis almost daily, so she was worried about getting the cast and how long it would take to heal. Dr. Lin took all the nervousness away and was kind, patient and thorough in his explanation of the break and what to expect. Healing time, cast-removal and recovery went exactly as described. We recommend him to all of our fellow accident-prone and super-active friends and families. Thank you to Dr. Lin and his entire team in the front office and medical care for being so wonderful to my daughter and me!!!
