I was informed that the doctor would be late due delay in surgery, which is understandable. However I don't think I waited very long anyway. all the staff members were professional and courteous.

He is a very good doctor, as far as I can tell. the wrist is progressing along nicely. I did not get to talk to the doctor after the surgery.

I am 55 and have horrible arthritis in the big joint at the base of my thumb. It is painful beyond words and the paingreatly reduces my ability to use it. I’ve had it injected with cortisone several times over the years. I quit seeing my previous hand dr because the previous doctor (not this doctor!) was so needlessly impatient numbing the area and inattentive in inserting the needle. The end result of those precious experiences was a painful experience and poor relief. Dr. Riggenbach did it PERFECTLY. He numbed it really well and inserted the needle with care and precision. The end result is a completely pain free joint that feels FANTASTIC!!! He was GREAT. I would highly recommend him if you have arthritic joint pain in your hand that needs relief.
“Supreme skill and patience administering Cortisone injecrion”

When I arrived, the check in process was quick. As soon as I sat down, I was called back to an examination room. Then, Jay performed X-rays on both hands and walked me back to my room. Within minutes, Dr Riggenbach came into the room and gave me a diagnosis and my options. I received shots in both hands and out the door I was. It's been a week and my hands feel amazing!! Thanks Dr Riggenbach

Both my pinkies had developed a 90 degree bend over the years. Before seeing Dr Riggenbach my preference was to do the fasciotomy rather than the Xiaflex injection. However Dr Riggenbach thought he could get better results with Xiaflex, so that is what we did. We did the two fingers 4 days apart. Both fingers are straight as a nail and I could use them normally the same day. 6 months after the procedures they remain straight and function normally. I highly recommend Dr Riggenbach.

Only suggestion i have is I would feel more comfortable if after a brace or cast setting that the Dr would look at it right after the worker molds it to make sure it is a proper fit/mold . It seems like it would be so important in the healing process. Thank you. Everyone at this office and upstaiirs have all been super nice.

Because I have two torn rotator cuffs (I went to him for pain in my left arm), he took x-rays of both shoulders. He told me my right shoulder was so bad (hardly any pain, but I cannot raise it), I needed surgery for the shoulder would fracture. So we are having it done 7/20. He was on time (so often I have to wait forever for a doctor, not him, very punctual). His office staff is also awesome!!

Outstanding. Dr. Riggenbach has treated mysrlf and daughter. We have both had care including surgical treatment. From his kind bedside manner to time he takes with questions and making sure you fully understanding diagnosis and treatment plans. In addition, working with his team , especially Kristina, to say they go above and beyond is still not giving them enough credit.
