Brit Reis, MD

Dr Reis has been my sons Dr since day 1 and I am so happy I chose her practice. She is an amazing and very patient Dr and being I am a first time mom she and her staff never came across as annoyed by all my questions or concerns.
We spent a lot more time with her and her staff in the last year due to my son having some growth/​sleep issues and they were amazing. Now I am due to move in June and it makes me sad that Dr. Reis will no longer be my son’s physician. My son loves her he talks and smiles and behave so great for her during all exams.
I will and I do highly recommend her to anyone!!!
I’ve noticed most people who have complained on here are just mad because of there policy’s well people there are rules and regulations and policies no matter where you go. So suck it up, it’s life.

I wouldn’t recommend this office to any of my friends and family. We switched over to another doctor and I am more happy with this new doctor. It’s more of a pleasant environment than Dr. Reis’ office.

The front desk was so incredibly nasty to me! I was trying to switch over as a new patient. Because we have not yet given my daughter the Chicken Pox vaccination they declined us in the most condescending way possible. She has all her other vaccines.
After almost begging they said we can drop off the medical record they would look it over but would deny us unless we got the chicken pox vaccine, even though our previous doctor did not recommend it because of allergies to an ingredient in the vaccine.
I can see the doctor herself has good reviews but I am skeptical because of the staff she chose to hire.
If you are a new patient save yourself the aggravation and look elsewhere.

We are «one of those» families that delays, spaces out, and declines some vaccinations. We have been doing this since our daughter was born in January 2010. Dr. Reis has been with our daughter since she was one week old.
The MD World of benchmarks and standards and drug pushing is not our thing. We had a terrible experience with our OB recommended pediatrician even after we interviewed her pre-​birth. We only went there once and thankfully found Dr. Reis. Dr. Reis was respectful and caring. She listened with genuine empathy and did everything she could to make us feel comfortable. Dr. Reis was born to be a doctor and talked with our one week old daughter with the same love we do. She is also a mother of two so that adds to her expertise.
Her staff comes and goes. Today my daughter had a 4 year old vaccination with a nurse that did not provide love or exceptional approach. We will not allow her to assist us in the future. However past nurses have been perfect. Dr. Reis is always always helpful! Our daughter fell off a play structure at the park. We called Dr. Reis after hours. She called back within 30 minutes and said to come in the morning. It did not sound like a trip to the ER was needed. The next morning we visited her office and she told our 2 ½ year old at the time to come walk and get a sticker. No sign of any limp like she had at home. It was a miraculous recovery.
We feel blessed to have Dr. Reis. Yes, her staff can be short and considered rude at times. They are trying to juggle too many things. Compared to what else is out there, Dr. Reis is balanced.

I have 2 daughters, 5 & 2. Dr. Reis has been their Dr. since day 1. I chose her upon recommendation from my OB PA that she would be the more natural choice than other doctors. While she is certainly not a homeopathic dr, but an M. D, she is reasonable & willing to listen to concerns. Since she was trained in medicine, I expect her to have a certain confidence in that field. She is caring & personable.
I opt out of most un-​required vaccines & Dr. Reis is respectful of my decisions. She encourages what is best in her opinion, but leaves the parental choice to me. The office does offer a more spaced-​out vaccination program. I always choose that route, because I don’t like to overwhelm my small children’s bodies. It takes more trips to the office, but to me it’s worth it. When you come in simply for a vaccine, it’s a quick in-​n-​out visit.
As far as the office staff, I really like Ilima & the one who’s been there for a long time, the mom of twins. They are competent. The rest I don’t really know. If they aren’t super-​helpful, I try to get the attention of the ones I know.
Advice: Parents, do your research & decide what is best for your child. When you talk to your doctor, state your concerns, but be patient, kind & willing to listen. The best decision might be somewhere in between both of your opinions. If you don’t agree, don’t feel pressured, but say thanks & decline.

I say the lady at the front window should be replace. She’s so rude as she really is on the phone. I’m sure all the other staff in the back of her are just the same. Slamming the window in front of patients mean they must be talking and gossiping. Dr. Reis is paying them for what? She should just save her money for educated employees who can treat their patients better.

Dr. Reis and her former NP Becca took excellent care of my sons. My eldest has an uncommon condition as well as other troublesome more common conditions. They had never personally encountered a case of the uncommon condition so Dr. Reis studied up on it more to be able to help great him. They repeatedly handled my several middle of the night emergency calls with care for my feelings and concern for my son. As for those who had problems with the vaccinations I’m surprised. I staggered vaccines and she never had a problem with it. I have a friend whose children saw Dr Brit before they moved and her kids aren’t vaccinated and she said the doc was very supportive. Ilima her nurse was always very kind and professional. Unfortunately civilians are no longer covered by our insurance but if we move back I would pay out of pocket to go back.

I know Dr. Reis she is a very caring and competent physician. I read D.F. and beth c.‘s reviews and I feel they are a little misguided. Do you know WHY she is taking only patients who are willing to immunize with the CDC guidelines? HER HAND is being forced. Her primary insurance companies will not PAY HER unless she makes these benchmarks. IT is easy to say «well, money shouldn’t be everything…» but she needs to pay her rent, her staff, and take something home to her family after more than 8 years of POST graduate work. Take some time to educate yourselves on the FACTS. She really has NO choice in this matter. I know because if you start «interviewing» almost all the pediatricians out there, you will get the same answer. GET used to it. Don’t look to your insurance company to pay for your choice NOT to immunize your kid or to delay these immunizations.

I am currently expecting and am in the process of interviewing a pediatrician. After, reading some reviews I thought I would schedule an appt with Dr. Reis since others had some positive things to say about her. Anyway, I called to make an appt and asked, «Is dr. Reis accepting new patients?» The office staff says, «depends on your insurance.» I tell her the kind of insurance I have and then goes on to say, «Also depends if your children are vaccinated.» I tell her I dont have any children. I’m trying to schedule an interview (prenatal) with the dr. so that I can discuss questions I have etc. with the doc including her professional experience about vaccinations etc. The office staff, person rudely interrupts, and says, «Well, are you planning on vaccinating your child?» I then repeat what I said, and she again states, «Well, we can’t see you .your child has to be vaccinated… Again, I tell her, I dont have a child yet, My child is due in a few months and I am wanting to interview the doc for my (prenatal appt) anyway, she then puts someone else on the phone… So that was my experience with her office staff. I never saw the dr. so I can’t talk about that. I decided against even making an appt with the dr. because as a patient we will be dealing with the office staff, and they were really rude and off putting… I agree with Marian D’s post. Its really too bad…

Dr. Reis is our son’s pediatrician. The office is totally convenient and clean and the staff is helpful. Dr. Reis herself is very friendly and pro-​breastfeeding, etc. (generally AP stuff.) I gave it a slightly lower score because it sometimes takes her a while to get to you and waiting 15 minutes with a baby who’s naked and just been weighed is a PITA. But I know doctors usually run behind, so it’s not exceptional.
