What Patients Say About Dr. Reiss

“Dr. Reiss was wonderful with my brother who has had glaucoma his whole life and recently had an acute elevation of his intra-ocular pressures. Dr. Reiss explained everything thoroughly, including options should the situation worsen. Most importantly, he and his team were able to see my brother on an emergent basis (within 5 days of the referral). I recommend him highly for his knowledge, skills, and his “bedside” manner.”

—Meg P.

“I highly recommend Eye Physicians and Surgeons. Dr Reiss and the entire staff are Top Notch”

—Carol C.

Every one of the doctors are the most caring and compassionate doctors you’ll ever find. Dr. Reiss has met me at the office well passed closing hours. Highly recommended!

—Edward H.

” I was referred to Dr. George Reiss by my ophthalmologist in Chicago for an iridectomy procedure. I was very impressed with the manner in which I was serviced, as well as the professionalism of the staff. The chat with Dr. Reiss as he reviewed my chart and examined my eyes made me more comfortable about the procedure. I am so grateful that even though I was away from my home, moved to a new state and had to have an eye procedure from a new doctor, it all went as well as my doctor back home told me it would. “

—Tara D.

“It is rare to find a team of doctors that care so deeply for their patients. But Dr. Reiss, Dr.Patel and the rest of the team go above and beyond. I came in as an emergency patient due to a major injury. The team adjusted their schedules to see me as soon as possible. My injury required intense care for many months but Dr.Reiss, Dr. Patel and their technicians made sure care was tailored for my specific needs, clearly communicated all aspects of care, answered all questions thoroughly and helped me feel calm and cared for during this scary situation. Dr. Reiss, Dr. Patel and their technicians are an incredible team that consistently worked together throughout the entire process to ensure the best care possible. Their technicians would even stop by to check on me during their lunch breaks if they were assigned to a different patient that day. I have now made a full recovery thanks to this incredible team and I could not recommend the team at Eye Physicians and Surgeons of Arizona enough!”
