As the doctor was about to leave, he said "I should probably examine your wrist" and took about 2 minutes to do so. Other than that he was trying to talk me into having surgery

Dr Riel was very kind, considerate as I told him why I needed a new cast. I trust his judgment and his decision

Dr Riel was very professional and explained all about my injury. Gave clear and concise instructions and was excellent at relaying information. Great bed side manner. Spent time needed and did not rush.

The Dr and the hosp staff were great. Every time I talk to his office and nursing staff I'm insulted and treated very poorly. I had my stitches removed on day 13 day 15 I was sleeping and woke up to my surgery area had slit wide open, there was so much blood I went to the hospital. The couldn't reach a dr or a dr on call at dr tells office so they tested me as best the could, and said I needed to come back to ER 2 times a day for wound care until I could get into see my dr. So Monday I called Dr Reils Office. ..again I got the rotten attitude of his nurse she said I could come in wensday. .the hospital sternly said they didn't want me Chandos bandage and packing I explained this to nurse cratchet,she pretty much didn't care, so I said fine ild take care odd it and hung up. My husband called her back and she kept saying we should change the bandage (the surgery area pooped open 2 inches by 1 plus inch I think the neve might be open)the hospital said I was not to change bandage!… !!!seems dr did a...job, but his after care is horrible and the Dr is unreachable. I wouldn't use him even to fix this problem if there wasn't a problem
