My experience with doctor reyftman has been good. I have been undergoing fertility treatment for the past 6 months with him as my specialist. And so far have had good experiences.
I had a great experience with Dr Reyftmann, he was very kind, professional and friendly and I felt at ease having him as my surgeon.
As always Dr Reyftmann was professional, calm and informative. He listened to my concerns, answered all of my questions and was reassuring at all times.
Dr reyfthman is kind and listens and makes the experience about you not the what books say the lady at the counter is lovely and polite
This session via video link was very convenient (we had just arrived back from holidays that morning with about ten minutes to spare). There were a couple of technology glitches but we managed to steer through these and there was no impact on the concise and clear information provided by Dr Reyftmann.
Overall I had a fantastic experience! Dr Reyftmann was running a little late and this was communicated prior to the appointment. He explained the procedure thoroughly and was very professional.
Wonderful bedside manner, so kind and explained the entire process thoroughly
