Following residency, she furthered her training by pursuing a one-year fellowship in advanced foot and ankle reconstruction, relocating back to Pennsylvania. She practiced in the Santa Fe area of New Mexico and in Tucson before relocating to Phoenix to join Dr. McAlister at Phoenix Foot and Ankle Institute. Her extensive training prepared her to be able to treat all aspects of foot and ankle conditions, but she takes a particular clinical and surgical interest in sports injuries, foot and ankle fractures, strains and sprains, acute and chronic foot and ankle pain, wound care, and foot and ankle deformity correction.
Outside of work, Dr. Riniker has many interests and hobbies including hiking, yoga, running, going to the gym, camping, traveling, and exploring new restaurants and coffee shops in town. She is a dog mom to an adorable Pomeranian who joins her on a lot of her adventures.
