Dr Reiss is a very compassionate & kind physician!! Thank you very much
Everything was great and they answered all the questions I had at the time of visit
Dr Reiss saw me within 15 minutes of my appointment. I wish all doctors were like this. He explained in detail to me what my issues might be. He took his time and made sure I didn’t have any other questions before I left. Great bedside manner.
My experience is that, God sent me to a Doctor that care about my health. I can sit down and talk to him and he listen to me and don’t rush me.That’s what I need after surviving cancer. Jehovah Rapha, God our healer. God work through the doctor. Amen.
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Reiss and staff. They staff were very comforting and helpful. I also loved that they informed me of everything that was being done at that time.
Dr. Reiss is very attentive, patient and knowledgeable. He comes highly recommended by me.

Dr Reiss is very thorough and easy to talk to about my concerns. He explains treatment options very well.
Awesome awesome!!!! I can say no more that says it all
A professional group of medical personnel who seem to enjoy what they do; very accommodating and punctual. I was in and out as prescribed I will continue my future visits with Dr. Reiss.
Spoke to Dr. Gary Riesse about my condition. He made me feel comfortable about the surgeries he wants to perform. Just waiting on his office to call me for a surgery date.
Dr Reiss is a great doctor cares for his patients also has a wonderful bed side matters, also listens to all your concerns
Dr Reiss is a very good doctor. I think his office could do better with the prep information. When they give you a choice for the prep, they should let you know the pills are over $200. Also, the second half of the liquid prep should be earlier in order to completely flush your system before your procedure.
The care and expertise of the physician is great! The process of trying to get a question answered before visit was time-consuming and not helpful. When I realized this visit was not in my LCMC patient portal, I needed to speak someone in the direct office I had my appt. scheduled for, but there was no way to be connected directly to the office. When I felt my question did not fit any of the recorded numbers to press to get info, recording instructed me to stay on line to talk to a representative. It was 9 minutes on hold before someone answered, to only realize I was connected to scheduling. If I needed scheduling, I would have selected the number for scheduling in the beginning. Needless to say, she couldn't answer my question and informed me there was no way to direct my call to the office I was scheduled for, when I requested. My question would have decided if I needed to keep my appt. or reschedule, so I had to leave work and go to office for my appt. time to find out if I could keep my appt. This office charges for "no-shows" or cancellations within so much time of the appt. There should be a way to speak to someone in office that knows how the office is handled. It all worked out in the end and I was able to keep my appt., thank goodness. I am a nurse and usually know how to get around things. I was so frustrated by the time I reached the office. Imagine a patient with no medical background or experience with doctor office visits, trying to get a question answered or get in touch with someone in the office. I don't know if there is a solution to this problem, but just wanted to advocate for other patients who may need assistance from someone other than "the call center".
Everyone was professional and had fast service.
