At this follow-up visit we planned to add some medications and set up an appointment with Steindler clinic.

Review for Dr. Larew
Our experience w/Dr. Ramme and Steindler Orthopedics has been very positive. The wait time is minimal and communication between Dr., patient, and Physical Therapy is the best we have ever experienced.

Analizes your health needs & has a plan to help you be as well as possible. He listens to you.

Review for Dr. Larson
Very knowledgeable. He listens to the patient and the figures out what should be the next step is. Unfortunately pain is not magically fixed and can take many steps to get it controlled. The process is baby steps and needs a lot of patience by the patient.
