OVERALL PROVIDER RATING

Rating based on "Did the healthcare provider or doctor provide the care you expected?"

5out of 5
  • December 16, 2025

    It is so refreshing to have a doctor that listens to you with care and understanding. He listened to my issue, was able to diagnose the root cause right away, and provide 2 options for me. He also provided visual internet views of my issue and explained exactly what was happening, reasons it could be happening, and my options with each success factors. I would recommend him to my family and friends. The supporting staff was also friendly, understanding, and very professional.

    Dr Reichel is the best. He has a wonderful manner. He’s a wonderful listener and truly pays attention to what I say, I know he has a tight schedule, but he never rushes through my appointment.

  • December 10, 2025

    As a whole, the staff was professional but personable. They were extremely efficient so I was seen without much wait time before seeing the doctor, having an xray, and reviewing it with the doctor. A very pleasant experience.
