I have very high expectations of my medical care providers, and Dr. Michael Reader truly delivered. He is a skilled surgeon and a professional physician who was kind and understanding.

My surgery was to be done on an outpa... read more

I had one of the worst experiences. I was referred to him because of my failed hernia mesh. Horrible bed side manners and his office manager was rude and hateful. There is no worst feeling than being made to feel as if you do not matter.

Post operative care he was completely dismis... read more
