Dr. Reish earned his bachelor’s degree from Colgate University and his M.D.—with high honors—from Temple University in Philadelphia. He completed his orthopedic residency at Ohio State University.
Dr. Reish also completed a fellowship at the Insall Scott Kelly Institute in Sports Medicine and Knee/Shoulder reconstruction, during which time he trained with the team physicians for the New York Knicks, New Jersey Nets, and New York Yankees. For the following 16 years, Dr. Reish remained with the Insall Scott Kelly Institute.
Daniel Frogel, M.D., Summit’s chief medical officer for the New York Region, said, “We are proud and honored to have Dr. Reish join our Orthopedics and Sports Medicine staff. He is very well-regarded for his prioritizing of compassionate care and thorough communication with all patients as well as his orthopedic and sports medicine expertise.”
Dr. Reish commented to OTW, “My goals for the first six months are to smoothly transition my practice to this large, prestigious, multispecialty, medical group and to ensure that my patients continue to receive the highest quality orthopedic care.”
“I most want patients to know about how I practice. The Insall Scott Kelly Institute for Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine has a wealth of experience and expertise providing state of the art orthopedic care to patients for the last 30 years. We are excited to unite with a high-quality organization like Summit Health to continue to deliver exceptional care to our patients. We have and always will offer gold-standard conservative treatment in order to get our patients back to being pain free and active. However, if surgical means are necessary, our team has a wealth of experience and training to optimize patient outcomes and maximize patient satisfaction.”

This is a fascinating development. In my practice we've seen similar outcomes with the revised protocol. The key differentiator seems to be patient selection criteria. Has anyone else noticed the correlation with BMI thresholds?
Great point. I'd push back slightly on the conclusion, the sample size in the cited study is too small to draw population-level inferences. That said, the directional signal is compelling and worth a larger RCT.
We implemented a similar approach last year. Early results are promising but we're still gathering 12-month follow-up data. Happy to share our protocol if anyone is interested.
