He called me and told me and my daughter I have cervical cancer and if I want to live I need to get a total hysterectomy and then laughed. He then said he will refer me to a surgeon and tried to leave the phone conversation. Went and got a second opinion at MSK and it turns out I didn’t even have cancer!! Just dysplasia that needed a minimally invasive cone biopsy. “Do no harm” doesn’t exist to him. Avoid him at all costs!!!!!

Dr. Rindfuss made my very first pregnancy a dream! As a first time mom, I had all these crazy things in my head that could go wrong with my little growing one, but Dr. Rindfuss kept me at ease throughout the duration of my pregnancy and delivery. I always said unless Dr. Rindfuss is available to monitor me throughout my pregnancy again, I wouldn’t get pregnant! Thank you so much, Dr. Rindfuss. My little family and I appreciate you! ??????

He is the most thorough, attentive Doctor I have ever had. He cares about past issues and discusses what could occur and calms you down if you feel uneasy about any future procedures or overall health.

Dr. Rindfuss is an angel. He's compassionate, patient and most importantly very skilled. My pregnancy was fraught with complications, but Dr. Rindfuss knew exactly what to do. Further, he was so nice through it all, and his demeanor helped me get through it. I'm still in awe of this doctor.

Every time I leave Dr. Rindfuss's office, I can't stop repeating, "I love my doctor so much. He is SO nice." Just everything you'd want in a doctor. Simply by going into medicine, and especially ob/gyn, he makes the world better for his patients. I wish everyone were lucky enough to have an ob/gyn like him! Philosophically, he's great too: the mother's health and well-being above all. I can't recommend him highly enough!

I have been going to Dr. Rindfuss since I was 16 and he is the best OB/GYN doctor. When i had changed physicians due to travel time i was very disappointed and came back to his office because he is worth traveling for. He updates me on the latest medications and procedures, he tells jokes, and when I have needed to speak with him and needed his help he makes sure to be available. I wish there were more doctors like him in every field!
