Saw Dr. Reeck for a 2nd opinion, I saw Dr. Chambers 1st. Dr. Chambers was older and nice to me but his exam was not thorough and my insurance was charged for a scope procedure but I did not have that done. Since there was only one ENT group in our area I had to use the same group to get a 2nd opinion. I went to see Dr. Reeck for this. When i arrived he already looked angry or upset with me. He talked to me and got my history and then did a very fast painful jerky scope of my sinuses. He said they look totally normal. (Like I was faking or lying) when he looked in my mouth and throat I had a tooth that had a cap which had come off and I had an appointment with a dentist to get it fixed but it wasn't painful so no hurry. He said as he was examining my mouth, 'of course you have teeth that aren't taken care of.' Like I was a lowlife of some kind. I'm actually a retired nurse and was offended by his comments and thought what if I was low income and couldn't afford dental care? That was really unnecessary. When he looked in my ears, the one giving me problems had wax in it. He said oh my g-- you need to clean your ears. Embarrassing but when I said I had been told q-tips don't work they just push the was farther in, he looked at me like I was crazy, rolled his eyes and shook his head. I am a clean person and really felt he had formed an opinion of me and that's what he went with. He also did nothing to help me. He said my medical Dr. would have to help me figure out what was wrong in my head near my ear. read more

Dr. Reeck is smart, chill and was a great listener. I had a tumor on my parotid (salivary) gland. When I first went to see him, he started explaining what my growth was and then paused to ask me about my background. I'm not a medical doctor, but am a biologist, so I understand some of the technical speak. He asked about my background so that he could tailor a conversation not over my head but also not under. The tumor was about the size of a grape, but wasn't causing facial paralysis. Therefore, surgery was optional. Dr. Reeck explained a lot about what the tumor likely was, complications with its position, etc. Then, he asked me what I wanted to do. He listened to my thoughts and answered more questions. I greatly appreciated him taking the time to have the conversation so that I felt empowered to make the decision. Dr. Reeck never seemed flustered by my questions or stupid jokes. He rolled with it all. His bedside manner was light-hearted, calm and refreshing. As another reviewer noted, Dr. Reeck is down to earth. That really captures him. He visited me before surgery, again with his calm, caring persona. I had no reservations about going into surgery. His confidence, without being pretentious, was admirable. His bedside manner shined again during my post-op appointment. His medical assistant, Alex, was friendly, kind, efficient and effective. If I ever need another ENT appointment, I know who I will seek out! read more

Oregon Ear Nose & Throat Center is a "Class-A" practice. We have experience with both Dr. Reeck and Dr. Chambers, both of whom have been amazing. Dr. Reeck performed major surgery on Bugsy, and his bedside manner is top-notch: he is empathetic, down to earth, comprehensive, and holds himself to a high level of excellence. He builds confidence in his patients, is extremely knowledgeable, and in a sea of medical madness, really owns his work with a patient from start to finish. Follow-up and aftercare have also been spot-on. His medical assistant, Connie, is amazing and an extremely caring individual. Highly recommended. read more

My family was disappointed by the lack of treatment and consideration. The fault is not just with Dr. Reeck, but also the staff of Oregon Ear Nose and Throat. The front desk tells you one thing and the doctor tells you something else. There is a break down of communication that leaves patients and families confused and desperate in times of illness. Dr. Reeck may be a brilliant surgeon and doctor, but he needs to learn to take the time to really listen to his patients. Here is my family's story. My mother has thyroid cancer that looks like it has invaded the trachea. Her doctor in Redding California referred her to UCSF for surgery. I tried to get that ENT doctor to understand that she has advanced dementia, Osteoporosis, and lack of mobility. Her entire life is getting up, shuffling with help to a chair in the living room and then at the end of the day shuffling back to bed. Her primary care provider suggested that we not put her through any undue suffering, but find a way for her to die in the manner that she would have chosen 10 years ago before the dementia. The family carefully considered this and decided that she would want to be made comfortable. Because swallowing has become an issue we thought taking out the thyroid and cleaning as much cancer out of the trachea would be a good idea so that she wouldn't die choking to death. Traveling to San Francisco was considered, but a doctor in Redding California warned us that the ENT that we were seeing had a reputation for sending patients to SF that were too old and sick and that a very large percentage were turned away. Because mom has such a hard time with mobility we looked at every option including a helicopter transport. She refuses to fly. So we did the next best thing. We looked around the northwest to find a doctor that could operate on her trachea and remove the thyroid. We were given Dr. Traynor's name as someone that could do that so I called his office and asked for an appointment. The staff person that I talked with told me that he was very busy but if we could get mom to Oregon and get the hospital to admit her, Dr. Traynor would see her. It took days to organize, the trip was exhausting for her, but we did just that. Mom went into Rogue Valley with trouble swallowing. We asked for Dr. Traynor but were told that he was in surgery and the on call doctor would see her. Dr Reech was the on call doctor. After spending the entire day in the hospital, I went home to make dinner and was not in the hospital when Dr. Reech examined mom. He called me on the phone and spent a good deal of time telling me that we indeed needed to go to San Francisco. I failed to get him to hear the family's concerns and choices. The following day mom saw the doctor on the floor of the hospital before being released. She sat down and talked to the family and REALLY listened. She suggested that we call Oregon ENT and tell them that we were not looking for a cure, but wanted mom to be able to go quietly into the night without choking. I called the office and again asked for mom to see Dr. Traynor. An appointment was made for the following week. So we loaded mom up again and brought her to Medford. We were ushered into an examination room and the nurse did a few tests. Dr. Reeck came in after and was pretty angry that we were there. He again said that we needed to go to San Francisco because HE had never preformed the surgery that we needed. I told him that we knew that and didn't want him to operate but wanted Dr. Traynor to operate. He told us that wasn't an option. Again I tried to talk to him and let him know my mother's condition, but he was still stuck on her going to SF. After about 10 minutes a nurse came in and told him that he was needed in another room. He suggested that we take mom to Sacramento. Which seems like our only option now. We will continue to find a way to make mom comfortable and Sacramento is our next stop. I'm sure that Dr. Reeck felt like he was doing the right thing, but he didn't listen long enough or hard enough to really get the entire picture of where mom is at or the family's decision to keep her from any further undo suffering. read more

I waited for over an hour and half then he wouldn't see me as he said he didn't have enough referral information. I was self referred as I had an infection in teeth that went to ears and sinus and wanted him to look and see what he thought. The first time I saw him last year he was quite dismissive. It wasn't for 2 months later when i was getting severely sick that he did prescribe an antibiotic. Not sure what's going on with him but won't waste my life again. read more
