Dr. Reising has positively affected my life.

07/09/2022

The Doctor took time, asked questions, was clear, and provided clear options.

06/23/2022

Excellent description of the surgery planned, why it is important to get this surgery done relatively soon, and discussed any potential complications or poor outcomes. It was the first time I had an opportunity to see the barium X-ray results. This is really a failure of the physician who ordered the test (not Dr. Reising) to go over the tests and why a surgery consult was necessary. I sought a second opinion before I met with Dr. Reising, but this was with another gastroenterologist and not a surgeon.

06/23/2022

Dr Reising is very understanding and always makes the visits very calming. One of the best at St Als

06/17/2022

*Dr. Reising is a great doctor!

05/24/2022

As usual both Dr Reising and his assistant exceeded our expectations by spending over and hour getting my file and required test ready prior to our departure to NJ

05/24/2022

He is very caring and easy to talk with. One of the best

05/20/2022

Physician was candid and forthcoming regarding the surgery I may need.

05/19/2022

Great - Showing all concern - helping at the highest! Thanks.

05/03/2022

Complete. I left the office feeling I was on track for getting my problem fixed. Yay.

First time with this doctor and was impressed.

01/14/2022

*Dr. Reising and his staff are excellent. They are always helpful & kind.

01/11/2022

*Dr. Reising & PA *Troy are the best!

11/10/2021

It was an education and I felt he was a advocate for my health condition.

10/22/2021

When I shared information about an Israeli study that showed natural immunity was 27 (twenty seven) times more effective against COVID-19, he said, 'that sound political'. It is a scientific study for Christ sake!! Not political!!!! At all!!!!

10/13/2021

The provider did not appear to have looked at my information prior to entering the room initially. He seemed intent on treating me like one of his bariatric patients even tho' that was not the reason for my visit (although I am overweight). Provider did not seem to care that I had been ill and lost 35lbs. without trying; and when I objected to losing an additional 50 lb. before he would consider surgery, he basically said I obviously was not ready or interested in having surgery to get better.

06/25/2021

Excellent. Identified and promptly treated a long time problem that others dismissed. My quality of life has been substantially improved. THANKS.

06/24/2021

I have only seen him twice. I need more experience with him to see how I feel about him as a provider. Example is he good or very good.

06/18/2021

Both the Dr. & PA were great as always explaining to me to help calm my concerns with the process.

06/07/2021

*Dr. Reising was great. His nursing staff appears to be thin; perhaps overworked?

06/02/2021

HE TOOK HIS TIME
