The building is shared by multiple offices, so the parking lot is always busy but most of the time it's pretty easy to find a space near the entrance. When I checked in their office, there was only one other person waiting in the waiting room and Dr. Tomcho's assistant called me into the exam room almost immediately, it took me a little by surprise because I even arrived early for my appointment. The office is always orderly and neat; the atmosphere is relaxed and his staff is always super-nice and professional, they make my visit comfortable and puts me at ease.

All I remember, (besides the excruciating pain), seeing about four doctors taking vitals and showing a concern.. this is after they decided to operate.. I started to have irregular heart palpitations... (maybe the stress and pain?)... Moving forward, when I left the hospital, my follow up also included seeing a cardiologist.. My first follow up was in July. I met Dr. Kelley, and first impression was a very professional, smart and experienced physician.. he suggested I follow up in October to monitor my progress.. October visit was really good no concerns, no issues. I really enjoy my visits with him. He gives me great influence to keep going to the gym and healthy eating.. April visit, he was so impressed with my lab results! He will be retiring in December, so I get one more final visit with him! He's the best! The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

When asked questions, she diverts to other topics and doesn't truly answer the question. Her knowledge does not seem that accurate or deep. She didn't really look at the family member's chart or offer solid information about how to help but instead talked about other things. It seems like a specialist would be talking about a medical plan for their patient and truly trying to help from a medical perspective. My family member did not get the accurate medical help needed and what's more was treated in a condescending manner in Dr. Anderson's efforts to make herself look better when really she is an ineffective specialist. Dr. Anderson doesn't have enough smarts or true compassion to really help.

Dr Ganser is a Thoracic Surgeon with Western Surgical center in Reno Nevada…read more Dr Ganser is located in the Renown Facility on 75 Pringle way, Reno Nevada. I want to compliment Western Surgical for their professional, kind and overall positive compassionate care. Their front office staff and back office staff are kind, positive and good at their jobs. Dr Ganser is a very knowledgeable, competent and kind surgeon. Surgery was scheduled before I left. This was comforting to know. The surgery scheduler later called and verified dates and instructions. Explanation of the surgical procedure was explained in detail, and very easily understood. All my questions were answered and discussed. I am completely and happily satisfied with the results of my surgery. Dr Ganser was completely aware of my medical situation before I met with him at my first appointment.. i was impressed that he was very informed of my medical status and understood what was going on. Western Surgical once again made me feel that as a patient, I mattered to them and they were there to help remedy my medical needs. I was quite pleased they practiced also at Northern Nevada Medical Center, as well as with Renown and Saint Mary's Hospitals. Having this choice was very important to me. Everything about pre op tests and the check in process at Northern Nevada Medical center was easy, competent and done with caring professionals. I was duly impressed with the cardiological department for going the extra step of reviewing my EKG before I was done with pre-op. Everyone at Northern was exceptional while being polite and happily doing their jobs. So nice to see workers smile, treat you with respect and accurately. Surgery really is a stressful ordeal for many people... a good attitude, positive attention to the customer/patient, goes a long way when someone is dealing with a serious medical issue. Thank you Dr Ganser for all that you do for your patients. And again Thank you Western Medical for outstanding and extremely competent Surgeons like Dr Ganser and Dr Web. Thank you for excellent care.
