Sanford T. Reikes's Online Review Report Card

very patient, answers all your questions. very knowledgeable.

This past July, I was fully prepped and anxiously waiting for my biopsy to begin. After a wait of nearly three hours, the surgeon called it off. He explained that the anesthesiologist declined to participate because my potassium value was elevated. He said that I’d need to be cleared by my primary care physician before the surgery could be rescheduled. My primary recommended that I consult a nephrologist. I picked Sanford Reikes’ name out of the Summit directory–I didn’t know him from Sanford Koufax–and he was kind enough to see me on short notice. Dr. Reikes’ suspicions were aroused by my description of the manner in which the sample was taken. He ordered a re-test, this time with special instructions to the plebolotomist on how to take the sample. This time, my potassium was normal. In my long and difficult journey through the maze of modern medicine, I’ve met many physicians. Dr. Reikes’ humanity and intellect place him at the very top of my list–highly recommended.

The nurse was ready to take me in the exam room right when I finished the paper work. She took my weight, BP, etc. in no time at all, and then I waited less than five minutes for Dr. Reikes. He is very personable and has a great disposition. He took his time listening to me and then took his time explaining his diagnosis. It was a great visit.
