I cannot say enough about the care that Dr. Reith has given to me this past year. She cares about me as a person and always listens to me. I came to her office with a deviated septum and collapsed valves. The surgery went well and she has scheduled follow up visits to check up on me. The University of Rochester is so lucky to have Dr. Reith represent them, she is amazing.

I'm grateful to Dr. Rieth who looked at my throat and larnyx and told me I was ok. I had been coughing since Nov. 2021 and that's why I had an appointment with her.
