Dr. Reinsberger was extremely informative and detailed in his review of my experience, and in his explication of current knowledge and science regarding treatment and recovery from concussion. I left the visit feeling confident in my understanding of the condition, its presentation, mechanism, and effect on the brain, and in managing risk, as well as in recognition and management of symptoms should such a condition recur. Overall, I was extremely pleased with my visit and would happily highly recommend Dr. Reinsberger to other patients.

Claus Reinsberger, MD is amazing! He is friendly and professional. He is happy to answer my questions. He knows my medical history. He gave me excellent advice. I am looking forward to having him read my brain MRI that I am having in two weeks. Congratulations on having such a good physician.

Dr Reinsberger has an incredible bedside manner that was instantly noticed even via our virtual appointment. His knowledge and experience are very evident in his ability to explain concussions with perfect analogies and metaphors.

The doctor was thoroughly familiar with my medical history as it related to my concerns. Dr. Reinsberger was kind, caring, and reassuring. His diagnosis was clear and since he explained his reasons behind his advice, I was motivated to implement his suggestions.

I had a great experience. My medical history was thoroughly looked through before I arrived at the appointment, which is rare for me within MGH and Brigham providers. He went through my entire history. He asked for my comments on all major medical events. Was really, really impressed with his thoroughness.

He was very clear in his explanations and information about my concussion, and instructions to help my recovery. I left the appointment feeling reassured about my recovery and future health.

My experience with this provider was by far one of the best, if not the best, I've ever experienced in my 48 and a half years of visiting physicians. He listened, he was informed about all of my medical history, and he helped me something that nobody has done in the last six months that I've been pushed around from doctor to doctor to not look at my actual issue and doctors not paying attention to me. I would definitely recommend him to anybody.

I loved meeting with him! He was so kind, authentic, and made me feel understood. He welcomed any question I had and didn't make me feel dumb for asking. He explained everything thoughtfully and carefully, making sure I followed. I also appreciated his sense of humor! He was engaging, efficient, professional, and empathic. [redacted] I can honestly say I had a great time at my appointment, felt very trusting of Dr. Reinsberger, and I've felt really hopeful and optimistic about my health since seeing him this past [redacted]. Thank you!

Very knowledgeable and kind. Compassionate. Helpful. Just wish he had more of my records before the visit. I was frustrated that I was unable to upload them on the portal and that he didn't receive them although my primary care had sent them.

Dr. Claus Reinsberger is an excellent necrologist! I was really impressed about his knowledge and concerned for arriving at my diagnoses and what the correct treatment plan should be for me. I was also impressed how he wrote such a detailed summary of my visit with him to send to my primary and for my review also. He prescribed PT with a cognitive issues to be addressed and handed me the prescription before I left. He is excellent!! He told me things I need to work on to be healthy.

He explained things very well, answered my questions, and even answered a question I and many other people in my life have had for over 12 years. I now understand much better what a concussion is, both colloquially (in a way I can use to explain to people in my life) and in terms of a concrete biological mechanism (which I can use to communicate to the biology-adjacent scientists in my life, including myself). When I left the appointment, I was very excited to have this information, and told my family and multiple close friends right away what I'd learned.
