Fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon Dr. Michael Rieber provides specialized care for ACL tears, rotator cuff injuries, and other knee and shoulder conditions. From conservative treatment to arthroscopic surgery, every care plan is built around helping athletes and active adults return safely to the activities they value.
From sports-related injuries to ongoing joint pain, specialized care begins with understanding how your condition affects your movement and daily life. Our advanced treatment options are designed around your injury, activity level, and recovery goals.
When appropriate, minimally invasive techniques can treat joint injuries through smaller incisions while supporting a carefully planned recovery.
An ACL tear can affect knee stability, movement, and confidence. Dr. Rieber develops a personalized treatment and reconstruction plan based on the injury, activity level, and return-to-sport goals of each patient.
Rotator cuff injuries can cause pain, weakness, and limited shoulder movement. When surgery is appropriate, arthroscopic repair may be used to restore the damaged tendon and support a structured return to activity.
We diagnose and treat shoulder conditions including labral tears, instability, impingement, and rotator cuff injuries using conservative care and advanced surgical options when necessary.
From ACL and meniscus tears to cartilage damage and persistent knee pain, treatment is focused on restoring stability, function, and confidence in movement.
Arthroscopic techniques allow surgeons to diagnose and treat many joint injuries through small incisions. When appropriate, this approach may reduce disruption to surrounding tissue compared with traditional open surgery.
You do not need to be a professional athlete to benefit from specialized sports medicine care. Treatment is designed for anyone who wants to remain active, return to exercise, or participate in the sport they enjoy.
Your care is led by providers who listen carefully, explain your options clearly, and help you make informed decisions based on your condition and personal goals.
We employ cutting-edge equipment and ensure that each visit is focused on you. You will have time to ask questions, raise concerns, and learn about what is available.
Dr. Rieber's fellowship training in sports medicine means your care is led by a specialist, not a generalist working outside their focus.
For patients who need it, MAKO® robotic-assisted surgery uses a 3D surgical plan for precise, personalized joint replacement.
We start with the least invasive option that makes sense for your injury, and only move to surgery when it's the right call.
Whether the goal is returning to competitive sport or just walking without pain, your treatment plan is built around what "better" looks like for you.
