Dr. Reising and his staff are first class medical professionals. Dr. Reising was very kind and showed great concern for my full understanding of the process and procedures needed to treat and repair the hiatal hernia. Because of the severity of the hiatal hernia, and the displaced organs involved, the repair was considered difficult however Dr. Reising took the time to explain and answer all of my questions I may have had before and after the surgery. My recovery has been exceptional with no need for additional pain medication once I left the hospital. I would recommend Dr. Reising to any patient having these types of difficulties.

05/22/2025

Dr. Chris Reising is the best doctor/surgeon I have ever encountered. He is skilled, trustworthy, and shows great care for his patients. I highly recommend him for any gastric/bariatric need(s) a person would have that requires surgery. I consider myself extremely BLESSED to have found him, and to be another patient he successfully helped get better.

05/21/2025

I think he listened to my concerns and wants to help me. I felt he had empathy for once when regarding my GERD

05/21/2025

Dr. Reising went out of his way to help me through this process. It was scary, after the [date] POEM surgery and the feeding tube was placed. It was also very overwhelming not knowing what my future was going to be like. He showed great concern for me, how I was feeling/doing, and very positive he would fix my issues. I actually felt bad for him because it seemed to way heavily on him that the POEM was not a success. And, from what I know, he has an excellent success rate! I was the first problem with POEM, and I was dealing with not only what is my future going to be, but feeling horrible that I had created such a concern for he and his staff. I could tell they were all pulling for me! I felt very cared for and that helped me when things got difficult which they did quiet often. Finally, we had the surgery on [date]. He fixed my issues, and I'm every so grateful to him, the awesome skills God has blessed him with, and the great personal care I received during this very scary time. There's not adequate words to really explain all that I feel, now, on this side of the experience!

05/21/2025

Dr Reising & his staff are caring & friendly each visit & testing over several months. As an old nurse & very complicated patient, I am impressed & how thorough & methodical he has been to determine if I am a good candidate for reflux surgery .He didn't just say, you need surgery, I can do it. He determined that I don't need surgery or even meds for reflux, & it's not nearly as bad as I was told several yrs ago. We left smiling, & I am grateful for his dedication & hard work to give excellent patient care. I am thrilled that I chose to go to him for this problem.
