We arrived about 20 min early and were taken into an exam room even before our appointment time. The assistants and staff were very efficient with X-rays and Dr Rieger made my daughter and I more comfortable with his humor. He addressed our concerns and explained her diagnosis.

My son, who has special needs, has been a patient of Dr. Rieger’s for over 18 years. Dr. Rieger has taken very good care of my son’s orthopedic needs during this time , always listening to my concerns and offers a sensible treatment approach over the years that has resulted in great outcomes. Today’s visit was no exception- once again, Dr. Reiger took his time in examining my son with great bedside manner, evaluating and recommending an ongoing orthopedic plan that makes good sense. I am grateful for Dr. Rieger and consider him an important member of my son’s medical team.

Great practice. Very efficient. Very knowledgeable and experienced doctor.

Gina Clarke

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!

I feel like my son is well monitored and well cared for. Totally worth the 30 minute drive!

Elsa Ye

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.
