Did not see Dr.Reames today! Or any other time unless I’m having surgery!
He took the time to listen to my concerns. Walked me through options and best outcomes. Their system works well. They were quick with imaging. Inow have faith that I’m dealing with someone that gets it
Finally, a surgeon that looks after his patients needs and final results.
Dr. Reames provided exceptional care during my emergency surgery for a brain bleed. From the very beginning, he made me feel at ease during an incredibly frightening time. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, took the time to answer my questions, and never made me feel rushed. My follow-up appointments have been just as reassuring, with the same level of compassion, patience, and clear communication. I’m truly grateful for the outstanding care Ive received.
