Dr. Rhea is very caring and professional. He listened to all of my questions and concerns about my total knee replacement surgery, and then took the time to be sure that I understood the answers. My follow-up after surgery was equally supportive. I highly recommend him!
He is an amazing physician. He genuinely concerned about his patients! Definitely a 10 out of 10!
Wonder doctor easy to talk to he listens and he is very helpful and will do whatever it takes to make sure you are in the best of care thank you for all that you do for me :-)
I cannot thank Dr. Rhea enough for treating me expeditiously and for not making me feel like a huge fat a$$ when he first met me. So many providers these days just go through a checklist our $hitty insurance companies make them go through instead of actually treating us. Dr. Rhea fixed me! He did it quickly and didn't make me run through a bunch of BS to get the best solution for my problems. I always felt like he had MY best interest at heart. Many providers can't or won't do that anymore. Thank you thank you thank you!
Very personable. Took time to listen and explain.
He took time to listen to me . Asked questions and than offer a solution with all the variables so I could make a decision on my outcome.
Very caring and personable.
Great
Very nice fellow and seems by my account very competent. Visit was right side hip to knee pain. Provided cortisone hip injection ultrasound assisted. Pain level within hours was significantly better. All in hall very happy with results and visit. Highly recommend!
He was thorough, friendly and knowledgeable.
