Daniel Riew, MD

"Dr. Daniel Riew is an exceptional spine surgeon with outstanding clinical judgment. I traveled from several hours away specifically to be treated by him, based on his experience and conservative, evidence-based approach to cervical spine surgery. From consultation through surgery and early follow-up, his recommendations were thoughtful, clearly explained, and focused on long-term function rather than short-term fixes. Nothing felt rushed or routine. The surgery was executed precisely, my recovery to date has been smooth, and early results have been excellent. The anesthesia team was highly professional and well-coordinated, contributing to a calm and controlled surgical experience. Care at Weill Cornell Medicine was seamless and extremely well-run. I would make the same decision again without hesitation and would strongly recommend Dr. Riew to anyone seeking top-tier spine care."

"Dr. Riew is a world-class, next-level cervical spine surgeon. His team and the hospital he operates at are truly unmatched. Everything exceeded my expectations. I'm incredibly grateful to be under his care. Thank you, Dr. Riew,for everything! Op: 10/1/2025 Complex posterior multilevel surgery."

"Dr. Riew is an incredibly kind and caring doctor. I was so fortunate to have the highest skilled doctor perform my surgery but the bigger bonus was his kindness and compassion. Wish all doctors were like him."
