Spine Surgeon - Raleigh, NC

"Dr. Reeg, PA Bill Payne, Nurse Eleanor, Sofia (surgical scheduler), and the reception staff are the "tops" when it comes to knowledge, skills, and communications! Always professional, patient, and thorough. They listen carefully to the patient and ask clarifying questions as needed. I've been a patient since 2008 and required Dr. Reeg's expert skills in 3 surgeries. His approach always started with the conservative methods first, except when there were known disc ruptures (hence the 3 surgeries). Especially in my most recent surgery, Dr. Reeg and Sofia went above and beyond to advocate with the insurance company to help me with the services my health required. I know I am in the hands of the best orthopedic staff in NC and beyond."

"Gary Fleischer performed a 3 level lumbar fusion on me with replacement of 2 discs as well as another screw inserted from below my spine through my left buttocks. The 3 procedure surgery went well until I was struck with a life threatening infection which resulted in a lengthy hospital stay and months of antibiotics at home. Dr. Fleischer denied any responsibility for the infection. Months later, I complained about constant pain in my lower back. He said I was completely fused and everything was correct. He then abruptly closes his practice and moves to North Carolina. He referred me to another surgeon. Come to find out my back was NOT fused and I needed another lumbar fusion revision. Fleischer with his unprofessional attitude cost me a year of pain and suffering. To this day, he refuses to take responsibility for his lack of skill. My advice is stay away from this man at all costs and seek help from a spinal professional. This man should not be allowed to practice medicine. Telling me my back was fused and to do anything I wanted with no restrictions is crazy. My new surgeon recognized the problem immediately and fixed Fleischer's mistake promptly. Stay Away From Fleischer!! Total Narcissist!!"
