Dr. Reichstein explains everything very clearly. He explains procedures, the how, why, and what to expect. Dr. Reichstein doesn't push to get you to do a procedure, he gives you facts and information along with encouraging the patient to conduct their own research and to address questions and concerns to him if necessary.I felt comfortable and at ease, respected, and listened to during my office visit as well as when Dr. Reichstein and his team treated me in a recent week-long hospital stay.
