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.

Terrible experience, both with the Dr himself and his office staff both of whom lied to me regarding the problem I was experiencing after surgery.. The issue became serious, enough to have a drain inserted, supposedly only for a few days, which turned in more than 3 weeks. At which point I was told he doesn't take the drain out, that's a different doctor, with whom it was very hard to schedule an appointment

I've had numerous procedures with Dr. Reishus and very unhappy. He doesn't take the time to talk to the patient and check up on you in the hospital. I was hospitalized for 4 days and he never came to visit and tell me why. As he's doing a procedure, never tells you what you will feel and what he's doing. Do not feel he cares about the patient. -
