I am not a patient. I wanted to be, but decided against it based on my experience trying to make an…read moreappointment. They have a website that offers "appointments". So I picked a time slot and made an appointment. Got a call later that day that "the schedule on the website isn't real, you need to call us back." That's good to know and thanks for notifying me, but if you are so incompetent (or cynical) that you know beforehand you have a faulty website with your name on it and you don't fix it, I'm not going to take a chance scheduling my *MEDICAL CARE* with you. Thanks but no thanks. Didn't bother calling back. But that's not the end of it. Woman calls me again the day before my fake "appointment" and leaves a message and says, "I tried leaving you multiple messages. You need to call me back and reschedule." Multiple messages? No you didn't, but if you can't take a hint, now I'm ticked off enough to shoot an email back. I type it up and send to the address on the website. THE EMAIL ADDRESS BOUNCED. Now I'm pissed enough to call and tell you what I think. I call and I go through my complaints and she has the gall to respond, "We have nothing to do with that website." The one with your (expletive) name on it? (I said the expletive on the phone) So, based on my experience with this office, they are either incompetent or cynical or perhaps both, but I take this as a warning sign to stay away so I will.

He said the multiple herniations in my neck were "Something everyone over 30 has. It's normal." Really? The doctor who ordered the MRI told me she felt like I needed to see a surgeon at this point because it's been 15 years of pain, and my problems are getting worse every year. I have tried everything. Literally everything to help my pain. I have spent so much money in pain management. All they did for me today was give me pain pills which I didn't want at all bc I can't even take them at work. I want it fixed. Not a bandaid. He said my extreme pain was "Headaches." Really? I know my own body and this isn't a headache or even a migraine. I wasted $100 and time off my job to be pushed off to another doctor. Yet again. I have been doing this dance from spinal to neuro, to spinal to neuro. I felt 0 sympathy or validation, like I was just another $. The only people who were nice to me were his PA, and the assistants. They were kind and actually listened. They validated my concerns. He referred me to neurology. When I asked him what they could do, he shrugged and said "I don't know, I'm not a neurologist." Don't waste your time or money.

He performed the surgery beautifully and got him ready to return to the ballfield for summer ball and Varsity in his senior year. I would highly recommend him and the staff as your first choice.

Five days ago, my daughter was taken to our nearest ER after hurting her arm at the park. The…read morediagnosis was a buckle fracture, and her arm was placed in a sling. We were referred to a well known children's organization to follow up in 2 days. The soonest orthopedic appointment available was 7 days later. Even though her injury was "stable", I didn't want to wait that long. My neighbor is a nurse who used to take care of Dr. Rechter's patients for years. She referred me to his office, and they were able to accommodate us the next day at the Katy location. The experience was extremely positive, from check in to check out. Dr. Rechter's bedside manner is professional, yet endearing. He confirmed the type of fracture and recommended continuing the sling for 2 weeks to allow the humerus to heal. We will then repeat the x-ray, and he will show her exercises to do and avoid to prevent reinjury. He asked about her pain, and it was well controlled with Tylenol and Ibuprofen. As patients, we see a limited side of our providers, yet we place our complete trust in their hands. My neighbor adds that not only do his patients love him, but he has the respect of his colleagues too. Her words, "Dr. Rechter is impeccable and the most genuine doctor" she's ever known. She commends his positive demeanor and expertise. Health care professionals have the best insight into physicians. I'm in no way criticizing the network where I was referred, but if my daughter did need surgery, I would wait weeks to see Dr. Rechter if I had to. Thank you Orthopedic Associates for a truly favorable experience.

I get to the appointment taken to room questions answered only to be told that Doctor Ugo refuses to see me even though my knee issue had absolutely nothing to do with a pending litigation. Then I'm told that they have to get clearance. Wanted me to fax information but had no clue what information to fax, to which I said how am I suppose to know what to fax if you don't know. Upon further talks clearance was given when the appointment was made over six weeks ago. This doctor didn't have the common courtesy or decency to even come and have a conversation with me after I explained the issue and the status to his staff. After speaking with someone on a more authoritative level, she stated that there should not have been an issue with this at all. By that time over an hour had gone by and still no staff came out to explain anything. Treated me like a second class citizen. The young lady asked did I still want him to see me. When checking the schedule, she said they cannot fit me in now because they are booked for the day. I told her I don't even trust this doctor anymore. His bedside manner is poor. She stated he's a good doctor. I said, despite the fact that he may be a good doctor I can no longer trust him with my care just based on the treatment and rejection I received today. Who's to say he'd mess up my knee worse than what it is for the rest of life due to retaliation. If he had come in and had a conversation vs throwing me aside like yesterdays trash, my opinion may have been different. So no, I personally would not recommend this doctor at all. I hope no one else has had to experience such poor treatment
