"Dr. Reis performed 3 operations on me to remove a benign tumor from my leg. I could not be more pleased with the results, but was even more impressed with the care I received. Faced with a rare case, he tailored the surgical plan to what would create the best result for me. I was impressed that he checked up on me and cared about how I was feeling in the days following my operations. I would recommend Dr. Reis to any one of my family members. I was very lucky to have found an extremely talented and kind surgeon!"
