Stephen L. Reintjes Jr, M.D., North Kansas City MO

Excellent doctor, very personable and did a wonderful job. I highly recommend him! Penny Harris (daughter is Deanna)

Great experience with Dr. Reintjes was a wonderful surgeon, and the staff was always helpful and kind. They ensured I had a smooth prep, surgery, and follow-up. I am so glad I chose him and would highly recommend to anyone.

I saw Dr Stephen Reintjas for an issue in my lower back. The pain in my back had greatly restricted my ability to walk, do stairs, squat, or sit for any length of time. He was so good to work with me and inform me of all the options that could help. I chose to have surgery. Dr Reintjas talked to me before and after the surgery. He was very honest with me. The surgery required a twelve week recovery. One again Dr Reintjas told me what to expect. He also said if I had any problems or questions to call him. I saw him on Thursday February 23 for my last post op visit. I am happy to say that the surgery was successful not only from Dr Reintjas view but from mine as well. I am now able to walk without pain. I also ride my exercise bike at least 2 miles per day with no pain. I can squat, bend and do the stairs pain free. I am pleased with the outcome of the surgery. I highly recommend Dr Stephen Reintjas to my friends with back issues and I do it with a smile on my face. Thank you Dr Reintjas for all you did for me.

Dr Stephen Reintjes saw my husband this morning for a follow-up on spine surgery (adding metal!) about six months ago. Reintjes and his nurses enriched our lives! Thanks to him FOREVER!

Dr Reintjes Jr And his staff are Sincerely concerned about your health. Dr Reintjes Jr will Do everything Possible to diagnose And correct your health issues. I can speak from experience he is by far the best of the best neural surgeons there is. Also I know several other people Who have had surgery from Dr Reintjes Jr And they feel the same way I do. If you have to see a neural surgeon make sure you see Dr Reintjes Jr

After been given the runaround by other providers Dr. Reitjas was very honest from day one! I was so afraid of spine surgery but Dr. Reitjas answered all of my questions and by the end of my appointment I had no doubt or fears. He is kind, patient and knowledgeable. He performed my surgery without incident as well as addressing all of my concerns afterwards. Dr. Reitjas has an excellent bedside manner and actually cares a great deal for his patients. His staff (nurses, NP and PA) are great as well. If I had to do it all over he is the only surgeon I would allow and trust to perform a spinal surgery on me. Thank you Dr. Reitjas and STAFF!

I went to a neurosurgeon at St Luke's 1 1/2 yrs ago.for the same problem. He painted my future bleak with limitations on weight restrictions with what I could carry, or what I could do. The neck, arm, hand pain have continued and is contant. Dr. Reintges patiently listened to my fears, reviewed my ex rays, and explained the surgery, and most importantly that my life would not be hindered in any way.

I've only had one appointment with Dr. Reintjes and learned that I will need to have lumbar surgery in the next few months. While I do not want surgery, I left our meeting with a feeling of confidence in him. He was kind, caring, and took his time explaining what is to come and why. I've liked and appreciated my interaction with him thus far.

My arrival was promptly acknowledged by the receptionists in Dr. Reintjes office, and I was escorted to a comfortable room soon thereafter. The nurse came first to do her interview and assessment, then the Dr.
I was given the opportunity to explain what actions I have taken to deal with my condition and how I’ve managed the pain while living as normal a “quality life” as possible. I was reassured this practice would be on an on-call basis available going forward. Thank you Dr. Reintjes and staff!

Dr. Reintjes Jr.is a very professional and caring surgeon. He has always been very honest and up front with my care. I will highly recommend him and his staff!

My name is Tim Cole. I know that I can hide my name. Dr. Stephen Reintjes Jr, IS THE BEST OF THE BEST Neurosurgeons. Thanks to my back surgery he performed, I am back at my exercise routine again! I am a very physically active individual and Mechanical Engineer. I jog, powerwalk, use the elliptical, do squats, lift weights (stopped heavy lifting in 3-2020), have done deep stretches from my 20s to now my 60s. I injured my back very seriously in 2021, helping someone move some very heavy furniture. I continued to regularly do my walking exercise routine, but it was very painful, and I also went to PT. I started having HORRIFIC twisting cramping nerve pain from my lower back to my left leg sciatica to my calf to my toes. Finally, when Dr. Reintjes evaluated me and saw my MRI report, he told me how critical my problems were and that 3 things in my back REQUIRED surgery. He said confidently, "I can fix that". I received a call from his office that someone had cancelled their surgery appointment, and I was asked can I come on July 1,2022, for the surgery. I accepted. The next morning, July 2, a nurse was walking with me up and down a few stairs very carefully and I was sent home later that day. I meticulously followed Dr. Reintjes’ PT orders for weeks and walked the distances according to his orders. It was painful and I hated taking medicine and my wife thought I would never walk normally again. With Dr. Reintjes’ EXCELLENT SURGERY and guidance, I now power-walk again and I am up to 4 + miles at 3.8 to 3.9 miles per hour as of February 13,2023, and I'm 64 years old as of this writing. I'm back to doing EVERYTHING I was doing exercise wise. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Stephen Reintjes Jr. He needs a 10.0 NO QUESTIONS ASKED. Too, his nursing staff were ALWAYS courteous and available to answer my questions.

All good, very nice Doctor, to the point, answered all my questions and put a good plan together.

I worked as an RN for 25! Years and was also a patient too frequently since childhood. Very impressed with both Dr. Reintjes and his entire staff. He made me feel comfortable and didn’t rush any of my questions. He kindly answered in terms anyone could understand. Being a skilled and gifted surgeon I’ve referred several patients since my recent surgery. I’m grateful to be under his care!

Dr. Reintjes & staff are very caring & professional. He has done 2 seperate Fusions on my neck & back. Trust them with my life.
