So this was my first time going to see Dr Reineck. I found him very refreshing, he was very kind had a great bedside manner, he was very easy to talk to he shot straight from the hip and telling me the truth about surgery and what it would mean to have surgery if that's what I needed to do, I appreciate all of that. He told me what was wrong with my shoulder immediately and sent a referral for physical therapy. I would definitely recommend Dr Reineck to anyone who has any kind of Orthopedic issue. Thank you Dr. Reineck!!

First visit to this Dr. Very straight to the point. Did not sugarcoat anything (which I appreciate). Need shoulder replacement (age 60), but he shot me up since replacements don’t last that long. Could scope it and buy a little time, but he said it will line his wallet and not be very beneficial. I will be back
