A man who supported what was right; so much to learn from Dr. Rieger. His legacy lives on in many dental offices managed by students who he taught compassion and love for their patients. Miss you Doc.

Dr Reiger was an amazing, down to earth always smiling teacher who was always approachable. He never said come back later . His skills in removable prosthodontics cannot be replaced . My memories of Dr Reiger is his smiling face waving his hands with a big ‘hi ‘ as he enters Cluster 3 . He was even willing to help us in AEGD if needed .I am truly saddened by his passing and he will be remembered always each time an impression is recorded .

Dr. Rieger was the face of Temple Dental and Cluster 3!! He brought to his students, faculty and staff his extensive knowledge, patience, sense of humor, sarcasm and genuine love for his students. Often you would see him working into lunch with a student or late into the evening just to deliver the denture the patient needed for the party he had that weekend. Dr. Rieger dedicated his life to Temple Dental School. He was also very generous! Our pizza parties were so special for him and the students. He took pride in his wonderful desserts. We loved them and they were delicious.May he Rest In Peace and his memory be a blessing to all that knew him. Cluster 3 will be lost without him! We love you Dr. Rieger ❤. I hope there’s plenty of dentures in heaven for you to work on
