He is a full time consultant at the University Hospital of Coventry and Warwickshire where he mainly performs hip and knee replacement surgery. He has a special interest in robotic hip and robotic knee replacements making use of the MAKO robot from Stryker. After graduating from medical school at the University of Cape Town in 2002, he completed high-quality basic surgical training in South Africa before spending 2 years working and travelling, based in the UK. He returned to South Africa to complete specialist orthopaedic surgical training at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town. This was followed by arthroplasty fellowships in both Bristol and Cape Town. He gained extensive experience working as a consultant surgeon in South Africa. He moved to the UK in 2016 working initially at The Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading, before relocating to the West Midlands. He was appointed at the University Hospital of Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust in 2017. He started consulting at the Meriden Hospital in 2018. He was previously the deputy training program director for the Warwick Orthopaedic training program and teaches on several educational courses. Mr Riemer has a special interest in improving patient outcomes and is actively involved in clinical research. He was the principal investigator for the RACER knee and RACER hip trials. These trials were based at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust and were comparing conventional joint replacements with robot-assisted replacements using the Mako robot. These trials resulted in Mr Riemer gaining extensive experience with robotic hip and robotic knee replacement operations. Recent patient feedback: "Thank you for your help, guidance, calmness and total professionalism in making J's op such a success" "I am writing to thank you for undertaking my hip operation. I do not take for granted the training and commitment necessary to do so." "I can never thank you enough for your expert double surgery and care. I can now live my life to the full again and grow old 'disgracefully' "
