Patient Reviews
Oct 02, 2016
Dr Reiss is a gifted surgeon, friendly and engaging while carefully explaining everything about a hernia repair, His team of surgical nurses and the anesthetist Dr Tshlumba, who couldn't have been kinder, they made it a completely positive experience... i searched across the range (including duluth) asking nurse anesthetists, other Doctors and nurses for the best surgeon available and Dr Riess' name was always on top. Thanks
