Dr. Reiser and his staff were awesome, they were very friendly & professional. Dr. Reiser spent ample time with me to review my x-rays, my options, and he actively listened to my concerns. I would highly recommend him.

Fortunately I was able too se Dr. Ryan Rieser soon after I learned my kneecap was broken in two places. I appreciated his positive attitude about the process involved, and was delighted with his suggestions for future care. He answered all my questions and it was very pleasant meeting him!

My experience with Dr. Reiser has been excellent. He listened to what I had to say, and explained to me what the surgery would be and answered all my questions. I have the utmost trust in his ability as a surgeon and am looking forward to having the other hip replaced as soon as possible.

I’ve never had to go to an orthopedic until today, and I must say it was a horrible experience. Not only did I have to wait over an hour in the room for Dr. Dean to see me, but when he did come in he was not very polite, in a big hurry. Spent maybe 3 minutes just looking at my knee to say what he “thought” it was. Suggested that I walk on it, when I can’t even put pressure on it without it feeling like it’s going to buckle. Wanted me to do physical therapy without even knowing for sure without an MRI if anything is torn. Then asked to see me back in 2 weeks. Stood up and walked out. No

This is where you need to go! My husband has had both hips replaced by Otteni. Today when his spine dr @ UVA looked at his Xrays he commented how great a job Dr Ottteni did with his hips. I have been seen for shoulder, knees & hand. Everyone has been very professional and caring. Frank has done many injections for me and is always able to relieve my pain. I wouldn’t trust my joints to anyone else.
