Patient Reviews

OVERALL CLINICIAN RATING

Rating based on “Did the doctor or advanced practice clinician (APC) provide the care you expected?”

5out of 5
  • October 15, 2026

    Dr. Reichel is very good at listening, knowledgeable, and does not seem in a hurry, seeming to really want to understand and help well rather than give a quick action and move onto someone else. Top notch in terms of my confidence in his abilities and care.

  • October 15, 2026

    Dr Reichel is caring, thorough and happy to explain things.

  • October 14, 2026

    Dr Lee was great. He took the time to listen to my concerns and we came up with a plan in how to proceed in the future. If I ever need surgery, he is the dr I will choose.

  • October 14, 2026

    The entire staff was amazing and were very detailed with every step of the visit.

  • October 13, 2026

    Aside from the woman at the front desk, everyone was incredibly helpful and friendly. The x-ray technician was fast and very pleasant. Dr. Reichel explained everything thoroughly and I would not hesitate to refer anyone to him. Thank you for taking the time to ask questions.
