2 knee replacements awesome outcomes
Dr Tigges is very skillful and set my mind at ease when addressing my need for surgery. I could not have asked for better care. He is forthright, caring, experienced, and truely interested in a persons well being. He and his staff are professional and focused on providing good care. I highly recommend Dr Tigges and his care team.
For three years I was told by multiple Doctors that my joint pain and swelling was nothing--despite increasingly difficult walking. Dr. Tigges read the MRI and immediately confirmed it was some sort of auto-immune disease and referred me to a wonderful Rheumatologist. He spent a good amount of time talking to me about what he saw and was incredibly helpful. Thanks to this Dr. I am now aware of my Psoriatic Arthritis and have been able to make nutritional changes that have helped a great deal.
Dr. Tigges did my total hip replacement. Prior to surgery,I carefully explored orthopedic surgeons in the hudson valley and Dr. Tigges' name was always in the conversation as the best. Now I know why. He focused on the task at hand and was very professional about his approach. He has also surrounds himself with an incredible team of physician assistants, nurses, and physical therapists. I am now 3 weeks post surgery and my pain is totally gone and have fully regained my life back.
Dr. Tigges was very informative during my first session with him. He clearly stated the need for total knee replacement of my right knee. Many doctors before had advised I was a candidate. He was pleasant and informative. I chose to use him for my surgery. He did a great job. I am clearly on the road to recovery and am able to ascend and descend stairs and walk without the aid of a cane. I am six weeks post surgery and back to the gymn and work
poor bedside manner. doesn't seem to pay to much attention to his patients. Stay away!
Terrible bedside manner and communication. Long wait in the office. Didn't see him again / no visit / follow up after knee replacement. I wont see him again and I surely don't recommend.

I went to Dr. Tigges for an evaluation of a painful knee. After X-rays, I was seen by Dr. Tigges. He barely glanced at my knee (from across the room); he never touched or examined the knee, had me walk to check my gait, or any standard checks. He told me I needed surgery, but wouldn't consider doing it until I had lost a significant amount of weight. He didn't tell me how I might alleviate the pain so that I could exercise. He didn't suggest a knee brace. He spent about 5 min. Total cost $400.
