Dr. Jeffrey A Rihn

I’m 31 and a former athlete who was dealing with a severe L4-L5 herniated disc pressing on my sciatic nerve and spinal cord. I could barely walk for more than five minutes without pain, and it was completely affecting my quality of life. I also have an active 5 year old to chase around! Dr. Rihn and his team were incredible throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and even made sure my mom fully understood my MRI during a pre op visit. On the day of surgery (April 8th), he checked in with me beforehand, which really helped ease my nerves. The procedure went great, and aside from normal post-op soreness, my nerve pain was gone immediately. I’m so grateful for the care I received and very happy I chose to move forward with the surgery.

I wholeheartedly recommend Dr.Rihn to anyone in need of spine surgery. Dr. Rihn & his team are incredible. I went into the ER and had to have an unplanned emergency surgery on my spine, I had entrusted him to perform surgery the following day.Dr. Rihn is the perfect combination of professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely compassionate, and truly cares about his patients. From the very first day of surgery and recovery, and post op care, Dr.Rihn took the time to explain every step clearly, answer all my questions. The surgery was a total success, and my recovery has been remarkably quick. I am now pain-free and back to enjoying my daily activities. I also want to recognize the incredible staff who work alongside him both in the hospital and at Rothman Orthopedics. Every nurse, assistant, and team member treated me with kindness, patience, and respect. Their encouragement and attentive care made my recovery process smoother and much more comfortable. I will forever be grateful for… the exceptional care I received from Dr. Rihn and his entire team.

Dr. Jeffrey Rihn is without a doubt one of the best surgeons I have ever had operate on me. He, as well as his staff, is caring and focused on making you feel like your case is the only one they have to focus on. Dr. Rihn took all the time needed to explain what the operation would entail and what I could expect for recovery as well as the necessity of getting this type of spine surgery. When I woke from the anesthesia, I knew instantly that the operation was a success since all of my numbness and pain were gone from my arm. Rest assured you won’t find a better trained surgeon that has the skill set of Dr. Rihn! I have had Dr. Rihn operate on my spine twice, once for Lumbar section at L4 – L5 & S1 and this last time on the Cervical portion at C5 – C6. I’ve lost no range of motion with either operation and have no need for pain medication! Dr Rihn is a Total Rock Star when it comes to making you whole again!

I do not even know where to start. I have been battling leg pain for almost 2 years. We tried everything before surgery. I loved that about Dr. Rihn. He did not shove surgery down my throat. It was my decision when I was ready. I heard so many scary stories about spinal fusions and was petrified. From the scheduling to the morning of to the discharge day, everything went perfect. I felt really good and while some pain will last a while, he has always been forthright and everything he said would happen did. I feel good. Better than I have felt in a very long time and I am only 2 weeks post op. Thank you for everything Dr. Rihn! Now my husband’s turn!

I can’t thank Dr. Rihn and his team enough. After a year of excruciating pain and trying everything under the sun I finally gave in to surgery. At 34 years old, a mom to two, and a caregiver I was petrified. At our first meeting he was confident, thorough, and listened. He was straightforward and told me I had a severe herniation (showed it to me on screen) and said I needed surgery ASAP. I automatically felt comfortable and said let’s do this. His team went into motion and made it happen for me. I woke up from surgery completely pain free. I have my life back, and I have them to thank for that.

Dr Rihn is the best of the best! He is compassionate and kind. His team is also very receptive and accommodating. Especially both Crystal and Jen, who assisted me during my office visits. I ended up needing a multi-level Cervical Fusion, and Dr Rihn made the process as smooth as possible. The nursing staff, both before and after surgery, were on top of everything! Dr Rihn ensures his patients are acknowledged, and treated with the utmost respect. I would highly recommend Dr Rihn to anyone seeking a Spinal Surgeon. He is wonderful.

Had a great experience from day 1. The day of surgery went better than I could imagine. From arrival to discharge. Every nurse, anesthesia nurses , care nurses and Dr Rihn. So comforting and caring. Great team that Dr Rihn has.

Dr. Rihn is simply the best. I am currently healing from a lumbar fusion, and also had a discectomy done by him in 2019. Both surgeries went perfectly. He is excellent in answering questions and working through your concerns with you.

Dr Rihn is know his stuff. I would tell everyone to go to him.

Dr. Rihn is phenomenal. From my initial meeting with him to my very successful spinal fusion surgery and throughout the entire recovery process, Dr. Rihn was calm, professional, kind, attentive, and amazing at what he does! From diagnosis to stitches, Dr. Rihn was excellent. I highly recommend.
