In 2009 I had orthoscopic surgery to repair my left rotator cuff by a doctor in Anchorage that was considered the leading orthopedic surgeon specializing in shoulders at that time. While the office staff was very pleasant and helpful, I did not see the doctor after that surgery until a scheduled visit a week later. In 2011 Doctor Ryhneer performed rotator cuff repair on my right shoulder. The shoulder was in pretty bad shape, so orthoscopic surgery was not possible. The healing process did not seem to take any longer than the orthoscopic procedure performed by the other doctor in 2009. The care and attention of the Rhyneer Clinic provided was impressive; not only was the staff very helpful and pleasant, but after surgery Doctor Rhyneer came to the recovery room several times to check on my condition. His attention and friendly manner was not only very impressive, but the shoulder seems to of healed much better than the first surgery performed by a different Ortho surgeon. … I would not hesitate to use the Rhyneer Clinic for any future needs.

I'm so happy I found the Rhyneer Clinic. Everyone from the doctor to the office staff exceeded all my expectations. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff and Dr. Rhyneer's beside manner was very impressive. He went above and beyond to help get me the fastest recovery and didn't shove surgery down my throat as I've had done at another ortho group. VERY impressed with the entire office and HIGHLY recommend them!

I saw Dr. Rhyneer due to an emergency situation. He did an excellent job repairing a complicated fracture. I would venture to say that I am in the top 5% of those who recover from my injury.
