Dr. George. D. Rhyneer
Raised in Alaska, Dr. Rhyneer returned to Anchorage after completing his college and medical school degrees in the Northwest. After attending the University of Washington Medical School, he conducted his general surgery internship at Oregon Health Sciences University. His orthopedic training was primarily at the San Francisco Orthopedic Residency Training Program.
It was there that Dr. Rhyneer became a specialist in repair of traumatic injury: ligament reconstruction, cartilage and meniscus transplantation, shoulder and knee arthroscopy and joint replacement. Dr. Rhyneer was an early member of the International Cartilage Repair Society and continues to be a proactive contributor in new methods of surgery and alternative treatments. He returned to Alaska in 1999 and worked at Anchorage Fracture and Orthopedic Clinic.
He started Rhyneer Clinic in 2007 because he wanted a small practice known for personal attention, outstanding orthopedic care, good advice, the most modern technology, and staff members who exude warmth, professionalism and compassion.
I’ve had three surgeries with Dr. Rhyneer. One on each shoulder, and one on my knee. The surgery is what we all hope for, but rarely receive, professional, competent, and first rate. He went out of his way to spend time with me and explained every detail and option available to me.
Additionally, his surgical support team was the best! First class personnel.
The bonus was his office staff. His medical, office, and accounting staff were professional, friendly, and they went out of their way to support your recovery.
I got lucky. Or I should say I got what we all wish for. The best treatment possible.
Dr. Rhyneer performed a cutting edge new technique utilizing less invasive technology for my mother’s knee replacement. She healed unbelievably fast and truly has her life back. Her surgery was early summer and she was actively walking and gardening as the summer progressed. She just returned from hiking in Kauai. Aside from the excellent results with her knee replacement, she absolutely appreciated Dr. Rhyneer’s staff and his warm and caring bedside manner. I cannot thank him enough for the care he showed my mother and the fantastic work he performed. She or I would be happy to recommend and speak with anyone interested in seeking care with Dr Rhyneer. Very sincerely, Jason Harmon
