More than a doctor’s office, Dr. Georgeanne Freeman runs a family medicine wellness clinic, Downtown Doctor, centrally located in Austin for those who live, work, or play in the downtown area.

Texas born and bred, Dr. Freeman grew up in Houston.  Growing up in Houston gave Dr. Freeman the opportunity to become a passionate surfer. She was able to surf the Freeport pier, Galveston beach during storms and various Mexico beaches. It may surprise you to know that you can surf a 2-3 foot wave. Dr. Freeman explains that in Texas, surfers use styrofoam boards when the waves are flat. The longer the board, the easier it is to catch small waves. 

After Houston, she spent a number of years living and practicing medicine in rural America - namely in the Appalachian Mountains and the Ozark Mountains. Her love of Austin began during high school when she spent a summer session at St. Stephen’s Episcopal School. Over the ensuing years she visited friends and family in the area, falling deeper and deeper in love with Central Texas.

On her way back to Texas, Dr. Freeman made stopovers in Portland, OR to complete her undergraduate degree; in Johnson City, TN where she completed a Master of Public Health degree at East Tennessee State University; in Des Moines, IA to complete her Doctorate in Osteopathy at the University of Osteopathic Medicine & Health Sciences (now Des Moines University); in Kingsport TN for a rotating internship; and then finished up her residency training at the University of Washington in Seattle.

There is often confusion when differentiating between a physician with a medical degree (MD) and a physician with a doctorate in osteopathic medicine (DO). MDs and DOs are similarly educated and certified, but there are differences in their training and philosophy of patient care. You will find that most MDs practice allopathic medicine, a more traditional medicine based on diagnosis and treatment of specific diseases where a DO approaches the “whole person” to reach a diagnosis rather than treating symptoms. In addition, DOs are trained in osteopathic manipulation treatment (OMT), the therapeutic application of manual techniques to address the changes in body structure to improve physiologic function. As a DO, Dr. Freeman believes in tapping into the innate healing properties we all have by using internal and external methods of healing.

Board certified in family medicine, Dr. Freeman has worked in emergency rooms, hospitals, and clinics. She is also trained in bio-identical hormones and botox and juvederm cosmetic procedures. As a country doctor, she learned a lot about medicine and made house calls. A favorite memory is delivering flu shots on horseback with insulated saddlebags to an elderly couple who lived nearby.

Also an avid swimmer and skier, you can also find Dr. Freeman biking to and from the clinic.

I was trained at Southampton Hospital's integrated Family Medicine and Neuro- Musculoskeletal Medicine program. My first Job was with Foundation Medical Partners, and it was there that I founded a new specialty service. It was not long (after starting specialty practice) before the shortcomings of conventional Osteopathic Manipulation became readily apparent. I had to become the physician that my patients needed. I was failing them, for many of them I was their last option, so failure was not something I could entertain. A daunting quest began: I learned from anyone I could: some of the best... I scoured every tome looking for answers; I began to question everything I thought I knew. The truth was that wisdom was buried by dogma. The truth was in pursuing what worked and discarding what didn't, and in understanding why some things worked and where others fell short. I began learning from my PATIENTS, and the answers have been coming in steadily ever since.

Dr. Martini was born and raised in rural Maine in a small cabin off the grid. She was attracted to the osteopathic philosophy of medicine because of the holistic approach, grounded in discovering and addressing the root cause of problems. She fell in love with the hands-on osteopathic approach to care and pursued extensive additional training in osteopathic manipulative treatment through her medical school and family residency years. She was awarded a National Health Service Corps scholarship and served for 5 years in remote northern California practicing family medicine, and teaching at a Family Medicine residency program. Her time in family medicine made clear her love of osteopathic treatment, and how much this type of medicine could help people. She returned to Maine and completed the Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine program thorough Maine Dartmouth Family Medicine Residency Program. She is thrilled to return western Maine to provide osteopathic medicine services.

Orthopedics Unlimited

Michael Rieber, MD, is a skilled orthopedic surgeon who offers conservative and minimally invasive care for patients at Orthopedics Unlimited in Livingston, New Jersey. Dr. Rieber always tries to find alternative treatments to surgery. When surgery is needed, he is proud to provide state-of-the-art arthroscopy and robotic surgery.

Dr. Rieber earned his medical degree from New York Medical College in Valhalla, New York. He went on to pursue further training through an orthopedic surgery residency at Albany Medical Center in Upstate New York. Dr. Rieber completed his sports medicine fellowship at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

In the early 2000s, Dr. Rieber realized there was a need for more surgical joint replacement treatments as he observed patients struggling to recover from broken hips. This insight led him to develop an institute that improves the overall experience of those who need a total joint replacement in the hospital. The changes recognized include pre-operative planning, better nurse-patient ratios, and a customized recovery experience.

Another patient-focused solution Dr. Rieber volunteered to implement was pioneering the breakthrough anesthetic drug Exparel during knee surgeries. The pain medication numbs the area where it was administered for up to three days, providing more comfort to the patient post-surgery. Dr. Rieber's patients claimed that their life had improved only a week after surgery because of greater mobility.
