Patient Reviews
Mar 10, 2023
I was diagnosed with UC several years ago by Dr Rea. She has performed two colonoscopies since. Working with Dr Massey, they have kept my UC under control, with no flair ups, ever since. She has earned my complete trust and respect for her positive attitude and decision making, even when I was ready to give up, and begging her to do surgery to remove a portion of my colon. I have always found Dr Rea to be kind, patient and willing to listen to and discuss any concerns I have. If I had a daughter, I would want her to grow up to be just like Dr Rea.
