Dr. Ristic did not tell me before the surgery on my elbow (pinched nerve, causing numb fingers) and wrist (carpel tunnel) that there was a possibility that I would have NO BENEFIT whatsoever, and that I would end up with MORE pain/weakness. I now have pain in my palm, wrist, surgical site (after more than 8 weeks) as well as a completely numb elbow area the size of my hand. Stay Away!

Dr Ristic does not like to spend time in explaining anything to patient. He did implant a plate on my broken wrist. After months of therapy, i requested to see Ristic and he basically looked at my wrist and said he didn't know why i wasn't healing properly and recommended another Dr for 2nd opinion. I did my own research and decided to see another Dr at HSS (Hospital for Special Surgery). The Dr at HSS explained everything to me, had ultrasound done and turns out I need to have plate removed

My appt. with him lasted less than 5 min. (I can’t wait to see what the bill is). My pain had subsided by the time I could get in to see him. He glanced at my thumbs and pushed on the problem area, then he gently stroked my arms for a bit. It was confusing, did he do it to be therapeutic or calming, or was it borderline creepy? No discussion of what the problem might be. He then referred me to yet another doctor who would decide whether to give me a shot I assume for the pain I no longer had.

I was a little unsure about Dr Ristic during my first visit, but he has since proven himself to me to be an excellent, experienced doctor who certainly knows his business and he looks out for the best interest of his patients.

I came into the office for an appointment after I hurt my hand. The wait time and his nurses were very kind and friendly. Dr Ristic came in the room was able to tell me what was wrong with my hand and the proper treatment to get it better. I highly recommend this doctor. Best in the Hudson valley.

i went to dr ristic for wrist pain. He flew in the room, promptly scheduled me for surgery before i could ask him a question and left the room 5 mins total. I cancelled the surgery because I wanted a second opinion. I just went back to ristic for my other hand, the doctor i had my other surgery with is no longer local. Ristic was rude, arrogant and told me to go see another doctor since i didnt trust him. I felt pushed the last time and i wasnt ready, and i deserved a second opinion.

He was awful. I wouldn't go back to him or the ridiculous office he works for. I agree with Sherry's post ... He is the most egocentric arrogant doctor I've ever met. I only had to see him once for him to re-bandage a finger I sliced. I left the office, took off his bandage, re-bandaged it myself. If I needed a follow-up I would've found another doctor.
