Russell Tigges

I visited Dr Tigges for a knee injury and hip pain that wasn't resolving; Tigges saw me for a moment, sent me away with a misdiagnosis. (I later got a good second opinion and proper diagnosis from HSS - hospital for special surgery in NYC). The worst part though is I found out a YEAR later they'd never submitted to my insurance, and sent my bill to collections.

Great surgeon but. the Walmart-like office is a nightmare to communicate with.

I would highly recommend Dr Tigges to anyone who needs hip or knee replacements! I hav had one hop, and both knees replaced.all went well. He’s a great guy, and a wonderful surgeon. When I worked in a doctor’s office, I would always recommend him. And when someone called for pre op for knee or hip, surgery, I’d ask who was going to perform the surgery, most answers were DrTigges.

At age 44 had full knee replacement April 2018 by Dr Tigges. All I can say is he did a fantastic job and this is the first time in 10 years that my knee feels amazing! This is most sturdiest my knee has felt in 10 years! I don’t have to worry if I can make it to my living from my kitchen without falling over. I would recommend him in a heartbeat! He’s right to the point and knows what he’s doing! At age 44 had full knee replacement April 2018 by Dr Tigges.

Dr Tigges can be rude and abrupt. He is an excellent surgeon with an inflated ego.

Dr Tigges as my Knee Dr for over 10 years! Did a few arthroscopic surgeries, a partial and full replacement. Now many years later having moved out of state my new knee Dr has only complimented his work and told me he was a great surgeon. I would recommend him 100% Just wish he would come south and fix my other knee now!!

Awesome Dr. he took the time to explain all aspects of my hip replacement and was available through the recovery process, which by the way went amazingly well and almost pain free. I will be seeing him for my other hip.

2 knee replacements awesome outcomes

Dr Tigges is very skillful and set my mind at ease when addressing my need for surgery. I could not have asked for better care. He is forthright, caring, experienced, and truely interested in a persons well being. He and his staff are professional and focused on providing good care. I highly recommend Dr Tigges and his care team.

Great mechanic great surgeon. Everyone I know who's been treated by him have been very pleased. He gave me a knee replacement and at 63YO I'm able to ski and bend my knee to the point where my heel can touch my back side. Needless to say physical Therapy after the surgery is extremely important.

For three years I was told by multiple Doctors that my joint pain and swelling was nothing--despite increasingly difficult walking. Dr. Tigges read the MRI and immediately confirmed it was some sort of auto-immune disease and referred me to a wonderful Rheumatologist. He spent a good amount of time talking to me about what he saw and was incredibly helpful. Thanks to this Dr. I am now aware of my Psoriatic Arthritis and have been able to make nutritional changes that have helped a great deal.

Dr. Tigges did my total hip replacement. Prior to surgery,I carefully explored orthopedic surgeons in the hudson valley and Dr. Tigges' name was always in the conversation as the best. Now I know why. He focused on the task at hand and was very professional about his approach. He has also surrounds himself with an incredible team of physician assistants, nurses, and physical therapists. I am now 3 weeks post surgery and my pain is totally gone and have fully regained my life back.

Dr. Tigges was very informative during my first session with him. He clearly stated the need for total knee replacement of my right knee. Many doctors before had advised I was a candidate. He was pleasant and informative. I chose to use him for my surgery. He did a great job. I am clearly on the road to recovery and am able to ascend and descend stairs and walk without the aid of a cane. I am six weeks post surgery and back to the gymn and work

Terrible bedside manner and communication. Long wait in the office. Didn't see him again / no visit / follow up after knee replacement. I wont see him again and I surely don't recommend.

I went to Dr. Tigges for an evaluation of a painful knee. After X-rays, I was seen by Dr. Tigges. He barely glanced at my knee (from across the room); he never touched or examined the knee, had me walk to check my gait, or any standard checks. He told me I needed surgery, but wouldn't consider doing it until I had lost a significant amount of weight. He didn't tell me how I might alleviate the pain so that I could exercise. He didn't suggest a knee brace. He spent about 5 min. Total cost $400.

I would never see him again. My left knee failed after he messed up my right knee replacement, and he told me it was all in my head. Maybe he should have just sent me somewhere else. Instead he almost crippled me. Thank God I found Dr. Stamer again.

Many years ago, Dr. Tigges was the go-to, mid-Hudson surgeon for knee replacements. Now there are others equally proficient. If you're lucky, with no postop difficulties, you'll be very happy with the result; but otherwise, you'll be on your own. He is very busy, and surgeons aren't well compensated for postop care. His office doesn't respond to requests for postop appointments, beyond a month after surgery, even for a serious difficulty, as confirmed by other recent patients and by PT's.

Arrogant man, get em in get em out attitude. If you expect him to answer a call himself forget it. The only person that answers his calls and returns your call is his surgical coordinator who is not even a nurse. I had read that in a previous review but figured it would be amazing OK as I'm a nurse and I could probably handle my postop OK. But I had some problems and not once did I hear back from him. I Needed my second hip done and found a different surgeon and what a better experience!!!

Dr. Tigges presents in an arrogant manner and does not put one at ease. He neither invites patient questions or responds appropriately to them.
