Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I had a massive sinus problem (Polyps) that need surgery. Dr. Reyes did the surgery and almost a year of follow-up. I can now breath normally for the first time in my life. I can't thank him enough.

I had been suffering from chronic sinus issues for many years. seeing Dr Reyes gave me hope for a positive resolution to my sinus problems. He performed extensive sinus surgery to correct my longstanding condition. The surgery went very well and i felt well cared for and properly informed of all the details surrounding the surgery. Dr Reyes has excellent bedside manner and gave me confidence throughout the entire process. He was caring and gentle in his approach and i has an excellent outcome. I would highly recommend him to others. Mine was a unique case and he fully addressed the problem and i have had a dramatic improvement in my overall health.

I had multiple fractures to my face and skull from an accident. My frontal sinus cavity was severely damaged from it. He performed a very difficult surgery on me within 2 weeks of first seeing me due to an infection I had. There may be several doctors that could have performed this surgery, but none I would say that could have done it better. He is a very gracious and humble doctor that is a joy to see each time I have a follow up. There is no doubt he loves his job and deeply cares for anyone he helps, truly a blessing to have crossed paths with him in my time of need.

Dr. Reyes did a very difficult operation on my nose to fix my breathing. The result was beyond successful. He restored my nose functionality and my breathing. I am ever grateful to Dr. Reyes as he was very patient with me answering all of my questions and making sure that I feel comfortable with the procedure. No other doctor wanted to do the procedure as it is very delicate and they directed me to Dr. Reyes as the only one who could do it. Dr. Reyes spent 5 hours operating on my nose and did a fantastic job! Thank you Dr. Reyes for improving my life and thank God that having you in our area.

Hi Carly, thank you for reviewing Dr. Reyes!

Dr Reyes was a blessing for me. I had suffered for three years with an endless stream of tears down my face. After several misdiagnosis I was scheduled to see Dr Reyes. There was an immediate sense of concern and compassion from Dr Reyes and staff. After what should have been a routine DCR procedure I was informed by Dr Reyes that the scar tissue had not only blocked my ducts but additional scar tissue had to be removed for the tubes to be placed. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Reyes for any procedure needed and would gladly volunteer to help further his practice with specialized studies should he ever need my assistance.

Dr Reyes recommenced and performed a septoplasty. Prior to the operation I had a difficult time sleeping due to nasal congestion. The septoplasty fixed my deviated septum. I can’t believe how much better and easier I can now breath and sleep.

Milla Reed – Nov 23, 2019

I would like to recommend Dr. Reyes and his staff. He performed a delicate surgery on my skull. When I came to Dr. Reyes, I was very sick with AFRS. After developing a terrible headache, my eyes stopped moving. This tropical disease had dissolved parts of my sinus skull and had exposed the optic nerves, carotid artery as well as a small section to the brain cavity. They used a new MRI and special x-ray equipment to map out my head. Dr. Reyes, in a 6 hour procedure, used arthroscopic surgery to remove diseased tissue and repair the damage. Several months have passed and my skull is slowly healing and my condition is excellent. I have started to run again. Dr. Reyes staff was also very attentive and compassionate. When first reporting, I was in extreme pain and was sensitive to light and noise. One of his nurses, took me to the emergency room, stayed with me until I was admitted into the hospital and found a blanket to put over my head to shield me from the noise
