See what people are saying about our hand and wrist therapy services:
“I just want to share my amazing experience that I encountered at the Dover Office. The staff there is simply amazing. I felt welcome the entire time I was there. The nursing staff along with the office staff conversed with me as if I had been their friend for some time. Dr. Richterman was amazing. I had a great conversation with him; he taught me things about the arm that I had no clue about.
He was genuine in asking about my life and discussing my career along with my hand/arm questions. I was simply blown away by my experience at the office. I was even somewhat sad that I don’t have to return. Thank you Dover office, I really appreciate your kindness and how you make your patients feel welcome!”

“Three surgeries for trigger fingers by Dr. Richterman. He does a great job from start to finish. I have been a patient at OMNI Orthopaedics for years. From back pain to a broken ankle. Every one there is wonderful. I would never go anywhere else.”
-LORETTA
“OMNI has helped me through a variety of issues over the years, most recently I had a large Ganglion Cyst removed that showed up after my broken wrist healed. Originally I never thought I would be able to do some of the activities that I could before such as push ups which had become rather painful. After a few weeks of therapy I have no issues whatsoever and I’m so grateful. Dr. Richterman and the team at OMNI have always got me back to 100%. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.”
