Clinical Assistant Professor of Orthopaedics, University at Buffalo
As an orthopaedic physician, the focus of my practice is complex foot and ankle deformities. Total ankle replacement, lower extremity osteotomies and complicated hindfoot fusions are unique aspects of my practice. There are many people that have arthritic deformities of the foot and ankle, often from previous traumatic injuries, that have difficulty with normal daily activities or difficulty simply walking any distance without pain. Surgical and non-surgical options exist for these patients to return them to higher levels of function with less pain.
I joined UBMD Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine in 2004 when I returned to my hometown of Buffalo, upon completed of my medical education. I am board-certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery and a fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. I also maintain membership in the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society, New York State Orthopaedic Society, Western New York Orthopaedic Society and Erie County Medical Society

"Saw Dr. Chris Ritter - he was absolutely fabulous. After seeing a number of foot and ankle surgeons from Buffalo to Santa Monica. Dr. Ritter is my choice of surgeons to do my foot operation this year. He is that impressive."
"I was very impressed with the facility and staff from the minute i walked in the door. It was my first time seeing Dr Ritter. He is very kind, considerate, knowledgeable, objective and very professional. He was more than willing to hear my story of treatment to date; my future objectives for my injury; understanding of my current issues and willing to complete a plan going forward. I can't thank you enough."
