Loved our visit with Dr. Rieger. Besides being extremely thorough and knowledgeable, he had a great bedside manner and took the time to listen to all of my and my son’s concerns and questions (and there were a lot of questions). I would highly recommend Dr. Rieger.

Dr Lin has provided my son with excellent care during this difficult injury and has followed up with his care every step of the way. He explains everything to us in a clear manner. We would recommend him to anyone in need of an Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon.

I had to have flat foot reconstruction done back in 2014 (L) and 2016 (R). Dr. Soloman was very kind throughout the whole process and did a lot to set my mind at ease, which is a saying a lot because I was a teenager at the time. The first surgery especially was difficult and full of surprises (my achilles snapped), but he did a great job at making it so I could walk again. He also fought my insurance company tooth and nail to get me my second foot surgery. If I ever need work done on my feet again in the future, I’ll be making the now six hour drive to have him be my surgeon again!

I would like to share our experience with this team, especially with Dr. Mark Rieger and Mr Nuzzo. Thank you very much for helping my daughter see the world differently. Both the preparation and the surgery itself went perfectly Nov 12th 2025 Yes, we were concerned about the fact that they no longer work with insurance companies (out of network only), and there were certain risks involved. However, a special thanks goes to Linda — she was always available and supportive throughout the entire process. In the end, the total cost was exactly as they had promised. I truly wish you to continue helping children. What you are doing is something very kind and meaningful. My daughter is going to school for the first time, and she is entering this new chapter with completely new feelings and confidence.
Response from the owner:We are so grateful for your wonderful feedback! It is heartening to know that our team made such a meaningful impact. We always aim to provide comprehensive assistance and support. We are delighted to hear about the positive changes and increased confidence.
