He is the most egocentric arrogant doctor I've ever met. He walks in the room and if you blink, you missed him. He scheduled me for hand surgery without ever examining or even touching my hand. By the time I got home, I called the office to cancel the surgery. Wouldn't go to him if he was the last doctor on earth. Went to see another doctor and felt better in less than two weeks. NO surgery. AVOID this doctor!

Very caring, empathetic MD. I highly recommend him as a doctor and surgeon

Dr. Ristic was very kind, respectful, and helpful to my personal situation. He astutely diagnosed my problem correctly, which an MRI confirmed. He set me up with the proper molded cast/brace in order for my injury to heal correctly. I strongly recommend Dr. Ristic and I would not hesitate to use him in the future.

I've had 2 surgeries(not his fault, I didn't listen and popped my internal stitches!)with Dr Ristic and absolutely LOVE him! He has great bedside manner. Being 20 years old I was terrified of my first surgery, by the next one I was a pro. He thoroughly explains everything he is looking at/what is going on/and what is going to happen. I recommend him to everyone I know and am always talking about how great my surgeon was. I work in a hospital and travel an hour 1 way to see him! Highly recommend

If you need a personal touch, sympathy, in order to deal with your illness or disability, look elsewhere. Ristic is a driven, focussed expert, who tries, but is no nurturer. I'd say, he knows hands in and out, and he does hear a patient and then advise. And he will change his mind to meet your wishes. As a surgeon, my bet is that he's very skilled and not too ready with the scalpel. In a specialist, better smart and expert than supportive and sweet. (Go to your PCP for heart.)

Sasha Ristic told me I had a TFCC tear on imaging and that he would do arthroscopic surgery in order to debride the extra tissue, but said that he didn't think that it would likely help the pain at all. What he failed to mention is that the imaging report also had said that the wrist was subluxating/dislocating, which in fact causes the TFCC to tear, and that other doctors in the past misdiagnosed this. In fact, he then did a less effective test and redid the MRI without the dye, hiding injury.

He was terrible. Just flew into the room, looked at my MRI, promptly recommended surgery, and flew out before I could even speak or ask a question. He has no people skills, and seems only to care about making money. Definitely not a healer. I would avoid him like the plague.

He seems to recommend unneeded and expensive tests and wants to get out of patient room asap. With in 2 months I received: don't move your finger, get an MRI (I pushed back) okay, MRI not needed, wear a strap. Nothing. Then cortisone. Come back in 2 weeks. Nothing. Then, there is nothing I can do. I get the sense he's thinking about his investments and vacation plans when he's with his patients.
