November 19, 2017Patricia V.Verified patient
Dr Rechter was very nice and helpful bit i loterqlly waited almost two hrs before i was seen and it was becuase he wasnt even at the office yet. I asked what the wait was about and the nirses said i was next which wasnt true, he just hadnt arrived yet. I would have been much happier if they had been honest and appolgized for the wait time and simply said, the doctor hasnt arrived yet and we will let you know as soon as he does.

October 5, 2017Nicolas P.Verified patient
The waiting time is terrible and the diagnostic from the doctor was not satisfactory, not accurate.. He was not very profesional.. I still have the pain in my hand and looking for another Doctor.
August 30, 2017Gisel V.Verified patient
Dr. Rechter and his staff are extremely professional and friendly. He has a great bedside manner, explains your situation clearly and fully, and tries all treatments before surgery is recommended. Would not trust any other doctor with my orthopedic needs, only Dr. Rechter.
March 29, 2017Cyndi M.Verified patient
As a past patient of Dr. Rechter, he performed successful surgery for me in 2009, and continues to demonstrate quality care and diagnosis. I will continue to look to him for consultation with my orthopaedic needs.

Dr Rechter is great and personable!
January 30, 2017Cody M.Verified patient
The woman working check-in was not welcoming nor friendly. I overheard her interactions with other patients and my experience was repeated with others. I understand she is busy and handling multiple tasks simultaneously, but a smile and a friendly demeanor would go a long way.
January 27, 2017Robert H.Verified patient
I didn't get the name of the Dr who saw me. She was so nice. My appt was at 10. I waited maybe 10 minutes and was checking out less than 10 minutes later. Very pleased.
January 25, 2017Alex K.Verified patient
Doctor is awesome. Listened to my concerns and didn't make me feel like it was in my head. (My last doctor did that.)
His office staff are personable and very knowledgeable.

January 9, 2017Maurilia R.Verified patient
I have been with Dr. Rechter for many years. I started with him when I lived in Katy Texas and I was really glad that when I moved into Houston Texas that he had an office here as well. His PA Marlene is a joy to work with. I will continue to be with Dr. Rechter and his office For all my orthopedic needs.
January 7, 2017Paula D.Verified patient
I am an OR nurse who has worked with Dr. Rechter for over 15 years as well as being his patient. I know the integrity Dr Rechter exhibits with his patients. He is an physician/surgeon that you can trust not to do unnecessary procedures and is "extremely" knowledgeable in his field. He also is extremely talented in his ability to perform solid, safe, patient centered surgery. What I can say as a nurse who has worked with him for a long time is that he loves what he does. That goes a long way.
