Patient Reviews
Very professional and knowledgeable in his field, plus has a very nice bedside manor making me more at ease.
Knowledgeable, caring, helpful in getting my procedure going.
I met with Jason Ryckeghmen,PA, to discuss options to manage my advanced osteoarthritis in my shoulder . Jason was able to explain both medication management interventions and surgical procedures in a clear and coherent manner. I was very comfortable with Jason and appreciated his wealth of knowledge re surgery , medications , and recovery time. I would recommend Jason to anyone seeking information re potential shoulder repair and what forward moving steps are next.
Dr Rink is helping me with pain control pending a shoulder replacement. He takes time to answer my questions and ensures my pain is under control as much as possible. I am extremely pleased with his care and concern.
Had great faith in my Dr right from the start. Very approachable, really listened…and helped me!!! Would highly recommend!
We love Peter Merrell! I saw Peter in January for a shoulder issue. He diagnosed the problem and explained the recovery plan in detail. My husband saw him in February for a leg issue. He was impressed with Peter’s knowledge as well. It’s now March and both of us are feeling so much better. Thank you Peter!!!
Very pleasant experience with Peter Merrell. He listens and did a great job explaining the options and the procedure for my golfers elbow.
DR. Rossi was patient and answered my questions. Did not feel rushed. He explained the issues and possible outcomes and solutions. Good experience.
Dr. Rink was evaluating an issue I was having and diagnosed that surgery was needed. The procedure required another specialist and he referred me to that doctor. I appreciated his help and honesty.
I have always been super happy with every experience at ORA. Dr. Rink was very responsive to my problem and my input. I was placed in an exam room promptly, had X-rays done by a very pleasant tech, then back in the room for a brief wait for Dr. Rink. Iâm pleased with the care I received.
Dr. Rink explained everything in detail and clearly, giving me options as how to move forward.
Excellent care no pressure. I like that! Only 4 stars cuz nobody's perfect.ORA comes close!
DrRink has done multiple surgeries on me with great success. I highly recommend him.
This was my first experience with ORA and meeting Dr Rink. The care I received was with respect and curtesy. Dr Rink listened to my concerns and provided clear to understand details of my current condition and what’s next. I was put to ease my Dr Rink and that means a lot to me.
I had a recent appt.withDr Peter Rink, Davenport Iowa to examine my RH ring finger which was experiencing issues related to a trigger finger symptom. The appointment was very efficiently completed and a cortisone shot was given to an area on my RH palm. I was very pleased with the knowledge exhibited by Dr Rink and after 2 days my trigger finger symptoms are improving. The appointment resulted in a very positive outcome.
Dr Rink is very kind, and really goes to bat for his patients. We recommend him.
Love Dr. Rink caring and get the Job done
I saw Jason and he was so caring and knowledgeable. I felt like I knew him for awhile. Thank you so much Jadon and the entire staff for your care ❤️ J Treimer
Everything is fine, but knees still hurt.
Very professional and a caring team. All questions and concerns about my situation was answered and shown to me on the spot.
Dr explained why surgery would be a better choice than a shot. I greatly appreciated this explanation.
Dr. Rink done an excellent job with replacing one of my knees. My biggest problem with this Surgery was healing. He assured me with phone calls and lots of verbal encouragement. My knee is 98% thus far. I'm still healing and glad I had the knee replaced.
Dr. Rink always takes the time to listen and answer all questions. I have had one knee replacement with the other scheduled in the near future. He is very caring and concerned about his patients. I would recommend him to everyone in need of knee replacement. Denise W.
I feel very confident in his care. Concise and to the point. Explained everything well.
Dr Rink was very friendly and professional. He listened to my concerns and addressed them to my satisfaction. I highly recommend Dr Rink.
Dr. Rink was clear and detailed regarding my issue and what was to be done to repair the damage to my thumb. The entire staff was efficient and friendly.
Was seen on same day I called. They were very nice and courteous.
Wait was kinda long, but well worth it!..This doctor is so kind and explains EVERYTHING to you! Glad I found him!
Dr Rink was personable, very thorough and forthright in what was going on with my health. This was my 1st time seeing Dr. Rink and I look forward to the ongoing care with him and his staff as needed.
Dr Rink was very thorough and patient
Apparently Dr. rink was backed up so it took me almost an hour to get in there and I see Josh practitioner who is great. I’ve seen him twice he does a good job.
Dr. Rink is friendly and very professional. He did a great job of explaining the operation and what to expect. He answered all of my questions which helped me make my decision to go ahead with the hip replacement. The operation went well and he stopped in the next morning before I was discharged to see how I was doing and told me things to do and things I should avoid. I have followed his advice and am very happy with the results. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Rink. He’s a great surgeon.
Dr. Rink is always pleasant and professional. He was very informative and gave me options of care. Thanks Dr. Rink!
Dr. Rink replaced my left knee last year. Woo Hoo on that knee! No joke! My right knee is going to need the same treatment sooner or later. Today, a cortisone injection will do. Dr. Rink doesn’t pressure you. This is appreciated because it’s a little scary, especially if you’re a first timer. Dr Rink went over X-rays with me, so I knew where I stood. Courteous, polite, professional, kind. I’d recommend Dr. Rink to anyone.
Dr Rink is very friendly and thorough, I've been having sacroiliac/hip pain, and Dr Rink stated that I was close to needing a hip replacement. He showed me my X-rays and explained the surgery thoroughly. He even showed me pics of the artificial joint that he uses.
After years of putting off hip replacement, I finally decided to do it. Dr. Rink explained everything in detail that was to be expected, and truly cared how how I was doing after surgery. Now pain free for the first time in years, I am hoping he is around for the other hip, when I am ready!
Dr Rink was friendly and kind and even apologetic when he was running behind don't hear that too much from a hot shot surgeon! A real down to earth person and cares about his patients
Dr. Rink listened to my concerns, took X-rays, and performed a thorough physical exam and gave me a fully understandable diagnosis. I’ll be happy to return there for future visits
Doc Rink he is good. Straight shooter who explains things simply. He's to the point and down to business.
ORA Peter Rink, D.O., is where to be when you need honest answers. My first experience with Dr. Rink was in 2011... I had spent twenty years teaching in the prekindergarten clsssroom using my hands... so much, that during the night I would waken with pain in my hands and arms... I had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands with lasting relief. My second experidnce with Dr. Rink was in 2012... although I had lost 100 pounds, .my knees were bone on bone and knee replacement surgery was the only option... to this day, I am ever so grateful for my new knees and the range of motion without pain that surgery provided. Now, eleven years later, I found myself once again in Dr. Rink's office... this time, my hips are giving me grief... unfortunately, I have put weight on and although there is bone on bone, I have been advised to shed several pounds before hip replacement... where other doctors might forge ahead, Dr. Rink is looking out for successful surgery with a healthy outcome for me. Thank you Dr. Rink... I place my trust in you and your team at ORA.
Doctor Rink and staff were polite, prompt and very thorough and honest. I highly recommend them to anyone that is facing hip replacement. Respectfully, Wendy Kizer
I had concerns and the Dr took the time to reach out to me and have a candid conversation. I think he is a Dr who cares and understands. My shoulder is doing so much better. The pain from the injury is gone. Now its time to heal thank you
Dr Rink is a wonderful listener! He takes what he hears and discovers in his examination, to create a plan that has lead to a great recovery for me! Thank you to Dr Rink and his staff for being awesome healers!!!
One visit, all relieved
Dr Rink performed a hip replacement on my right hip. He explained what would happen and was responsive to my questions. The surgery went well and I’ve recovered quickly so far. I would highly recommend Dr Rink and ORA
Dr.Rink was very informative and took the time to explain things so I could understand the situation appreciated his advice
Dr. Rink has given me a knee replacement, rotor cuff surgery and two carpal tunnel surgeries. I've been happy with all of them.
Dr Rink replaced my left hip, early August 2023. I was in a great deal of pain and had to use a cane to even be slightly mobile. Dr Rink was straight forward and completely honest about this major hip surgery. Both Dr Rink and his assistant, Jason, have been outstanding medically and greatly personable! I would not hesitate to recommend or return to him in the future.
Dr Rink is very knowledgeable and professional, he has done prior surgeries and will also do further surgeries for me. I like him and trust him with my care.
He is a very good Doctor.
I have been going to Ora for several years now. I have had doctor rink do both shoulders for rotor cuffs and knee replacement. The staff werevery professional. Doctor Rink and staff listen to me. He has a no punches attitude. He tells you what need to do to get better. If you don't it's your own fault. I did what he wanted me to do on my knee and I was way head of schedule of my goals for full recovery. So in all i highly recommend roa for any thing.
I've seen Dr Rink a few times a shot in a knee & later if it ever needs replaced I'm going to get him this visit was for ruptured discs in neck pressing on spinal cord & nerves hes recommended me to specialist, he took time to answer all my questions & go over my MRI great guy ,down to earth & knows how to be professional at same time, I highly recommend him . Ive seen his associate Jason he has gave me shots in knee shoulder & sent me too therapy & had xrays taken which lead to the findings of the nerves in my neck they are great I'd recommend Jason also.
Dr. Peter Rink and his staff are absolutely wonderful. ORA is the place to go for all your needs.
everyone was extremely nice
I felt like I was in capable hands
I came to ORA in 2016 with knee pain. I saw Dr. Peter Rink. Sure am glad I did! Dr Rink helped with that knee pain, cortisone injection (after complete X-rays). However, it was the other knee that ‘went out’. That knee was totally replaced last year (March 2022), and I couldn’t be happier!! Dr Rink and his staff are top notch! The knee with the original pain..that knee is hanging in for now. It will probably need to be replaced in the future. When it does, I’ll be seeing Dr. Rink. Thank you ORA/Team Rink!
Everyone professional, friendly, caring and good at what they do.
All good on time and professional.
Dr. Rink and his PA, Jason, are excellent. They are very knowledgeable, thorough and professional. They and ORA give you all the information you need to know before your surgery about the procedure and what to expect during recovery.
The only place to go for your orthopedic care!!! Dr. Rink and P.A. Jason Ryckeghem are the best.
Dr. Rink and his staff were prompt at my appointment and reviewed my medical needs physically, as well as listening to my concerns. I expect to be getting around better soon.
Dr Rink diagnosed the source of my shoulder pain quickly, gave me a Cortizone shot treatment, and was very patient with my questions and nervousness regarding the shot. I was 90% pain-free within a day and 100% pain-free within three days! Now on to physical therapy.
Dr. Rink is great. My experience at ORA in Bettendorf is very positive. The staff are friendly helpful and do their best to answer all questions. They are pretty prompt in taking care of your needs.
Dr Rink was excellent . He explained the procedure and length of recovery. He was caring and concerned with my healing progress
Great Dr awesome Staff very informative friendly atmosphere
Dr. Rick is a good Doctor. I really like him. I would recommend him to anyone. I also like his assistant Jason R.
I have had total knee replacement in both lnees. I was yp and about in a few days. I am so glad I had it done. Doctor Rink was great. I would have him as my surgeon again.
Excellent care. Very customer friendly from the time enter the building to the time you leave. Helpful, willing to take the time needed and explain what's happening and give you options for treatment.
Dr Rink did a great job with my hip replacement. He answers all questions and more, very comforting.
My pre-op meeting with Dr. Rink went very well. He patiently explained the hip replacement surgery that he will be performing and answered all the questions I had for him. I feel that my hip replacement surgery is in good hands.
Dr. Rink and his PA Jason were a great team in diagnosing and providing treatment options for my arthritic hip. Dr. Rink was very thorough and listened to all my questions and concerns. I highly recommend his skills for joint replacement.
Always professional....down to earth ..explains what the procedure is and how it's done...had my 1st knee replaced in 16 and then the 2nd in 18...Dr Rink is my go to for this type of surgery..all the people out there are awesome..from the front desk to the assistants
I like him he knows what he is doing he’s very friendly has a humor about him
Very caring and polite Dr. He answered questions and explained my son's MRI results well. I didn't feel rushed and felt he had a genuine concern for my son's knee. Highly recommend. *Update... Another visit...Again, we had the same great experience with the doctor. He's a genuine, caring doctor.
Dr. Rink listens, figures out the problem and treats you very professionally with kindness. Recommend.
Dr Rink does an amazing job. He explains things thoroughly and makes sure your questions are answered. His staff is also friendly
Very good experience with Dr. Rink and his staff
Thank you to Dr. Rink and team, it wasn't long after shoulder surgery that I was back working construction again. My shoulder hasn't worked this good in years. I would highly recommend him and his team!
Dr. Rink and his PA, Jason, were excellent. They were great to work with, professional, patient, and caring. I felt they were thorough and took the time to answer every question.
Dr.Rink did a great job on my knee replacement. He and his surgical staff were great.
Dr. Rink is a a fine Doctor. He's skilled and he's very likable. He's done both my knees.
I have had 3 surgeries on my knee over 17 year span at ORA.A meniscus repair was done on a Friday and Monday I was back at work; excellent results. I had an OATS transplant which repaired a hole and it provided new life to my knee. This year a total knee replacement was performed. Dr Rink has my complete trust having successfully operated on 4 members of my family also. He's very caring and professional; willing to explain things which puts you at ease. I would highly recommend Dr Rink.
Dr. Rink is the best. He listens and spends time with his patients to make them comfortable. He answers all questions with patience compassion.
Dr Rink cares so much about your health and your concerns about surgery. He checked over my scans thoroughly and after talking with me, let me know a total knee wasn’t something I needed just yet. Thank Goodness I wasn’t ready for that. I can get the scope and get a good result from that. Some doctors might just push you into something you don’t want or need. He really cares. 5 stars!
ORA has been a wonderful experience for me. Dr.Rink is patient and understanding. He takes the time to listen and explain thins. I would highly recommend him!
Dr. Rink is get to have as my doctor. He is very personable. The staff is very friendly and professional.
Very kind medical staff. Quick to help my problem and let me know other options should I need extended help. Very pleased all around.
I have been to ORA several times. I have seen Dr Mann and Dr Rink. I would recommend either of them. They are very knowledgeable, caring and have always done a great job with my care.
Dr. Rink and his team are incredible! I had my right and left knee totally replaced within a couple of months of each other and after years of chronic pain, I am now pain-free!
Dr Rink is a very nice, caring doctor, who cares about his patients, to make sure that they are well taken care of. The procedure he did for me was very effective and he listened and explains things very well.
ORA doctors and PA are excellent! They listen closely to your concerns and offer comprehensive treatment plans. Surgeries are very successful and alternative treatments are offered too. Staff are friendly as well. There are lots of employees up front to make the check in/out process quick.
My experience with Dr Rink was excellent once he came in. He appeared to be kind and efficient I received a shot in shoulder and it help a lot and I have a follow up in a couple of months. Eventually I will need surgery as he & Jason explain. I hope and pray that when I do Dr Rink isn’t overbooked and can do the surgery.
He does great work … aligned both my knees almost perfectly… I got right knee replacement when I was 52 and could bend my knee 125 and could straighten my knee in 5 weeks… just did left knee at age 60 and the same… very caring and straight forward dr… he does a great job….
Very personable, professional and to the point. He listened about my injury and took care of exactly what needed to be done to move forward and get back to normal health. Great experience!
Dr. Rink always listens to my concerns and answers my questions thoroughly. I trust his knowledge, ability and integrity when I am making decisions about what treatment to choose.
While no one ever wants to need an orthopedic physician, I enjoy seeing Dr. Rink. He is kind, personable, professional, and very thorough. He explains everything in a way lay person can understand. He never fails to take a minute to ask how I am (beyond what I'm seeing him for), and to ask about my mom. He was sad to hear she had passed away. I think I've been seeing Dr. Petey for about 30 years and always request him when I need to go to ORA.
I had a carpal tunnel problem. I got referred to Dr. Rink. He is very professional. Kind and humble person!! On July 13th I had a surgery . And I'm feeling AWESOME!! THANKS DR. RINK. I really appreciate all the time you took to take care of it. Again. Thanks you!! God bless you.
Dr Rink provided a detailed diagnosis and had clearly spent considerable time reviewing my chart prior to my exam. He presented his opinion with professional modesty.
So very pleased with every aspect and every interaction with the Staff at ORA. Everyone was very knowledgeable and informative with any question or concern that I had. Dr. Rink and his PA were patient and attentive to my every need. I am extremely happy and impressed with all aspects of ORA.
Dr. Rink and his staff are very professional, knowledgeable and kind. My shoulder surgery went very well, and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
