Dr. Riemenschneider told Becker’s ASC Review that as the baby-boomer generation ages, the demand for age-related procedures, particularly in urology, will increase. “I think that the practice of urology has benefits because there are relatively few urologists relative to the population of patients that we treat,” he said. “There are demand issues, and if we can address them appropriately, the patients and we can benefit. Urology is actually in a good position relative to the other specialties because of this supply and demand.”
Dr. Riemenschneider received his bachelor’s degree in chemistry at The Ohio State University and his MD at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. As a medical student, he focused on renal physiology and renal medicine.
Dr. Riemenschneider completed his general surgical training under the guidance of Robert Zollinger, MD, chairman of the OSU Department of Surgery. He completed his urologic residency at Indiana University under Robert Garrett, MD, chairman of the urology department, and under John Donahue, MD, who developed the surgical cure for testicular cancer.
