Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

While Dr. Reiger may have a lot of experience when it comes to plastic surgery, my experience was dismal. I had a liposuction done to my thighs in February 2016. I spoke to him and his assistant and they assured me that my thighs would be contoured in such a way that they would look aesthetically pleasing. I ended up spending close to $9,000.00 for this procedure and I might as well have just flushed that money done the toilet. I realize that liposuction is NOT a weight loss surgery. That's not what I was looking for. I was looking for a contoured look and there was hardly any difference and one side of my thighs looks uneven. On my second visit, when I stated that I was displeased he and his assistant acted very rude but they stated that it would take up to 6 months. I waited 6 months any NOTHING. It wasn't until I hit the gym that I got the results that I wanted. Save your money and hit the gym, unless you care to flush money down the toilet.

Dr. Rieger is everything you want in a Plastic Surgeon. He's patient, understanding, experienced, knowledgable, and goes above and beyond to ensure his patients' satisfaction and wellbeing. I was hesitant about having a breast augmentation, but Dr. Rieger put my worries at ease. I trusted him wholeheartedly after our initial consultation--so much that I cancelled all of my other consultations previously planned. I felt like he truly listened to my wishes. I'm SO in love with my results!

This was my second procedure with Dr Rieger. He did an outstanding job with my augmentation making me look and feel natural. He exceeded my expectations and I get so many compliments on how great I look. He is so caring and professional I would highly recommend to anyone.

I had the absolute best experience with Dr. Rieger and I couldn't be happier with my breast augmentation results. Dr. Rieger spent a ton of time during my initial consultation to go over all of my options; and answered every question I had. Never did I feel rushed or pushed into anything. Dr. Rieger genuinely cares about his patients. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering plastic surgery.

Let me begin by explaining how I chose Dr Rieger. Several years ago I had a cosmetic procedure (radiesse) done that left me with horrible lumps under my eyes. I called multiple plastic surgeons to get a second opinion and Dr Rieger was the only doctor willing to see me. When I decided to have a lower face lift I went to Dr Rieger. I'm thrilled with the outcome of my plastic surgery! I look 10 years younger, rejuvenated, and most importantly natural. He and his staff are amazing and care!!!

I've always been small-chested, but after 2 kids, I was even smaller. I debated augmentation because I was nervous about looking too fake or too big. After meeting with Dr Rieger, I felt that he understood my concerns and my desired outcome. Ultimately, I chose him because he suggested that I get a teardrop implant, which provides a more natural look than a round implant. I couldn't be happier with the size and shape. His office staff is also fantastic. Highly recommend!
