What Our Patients Say

11/12/2023 "I was referred to Dr Webb to repair an issue with a previous surgical incision. I have EDS and am new to the Reno area, so finding someone who understands this disease, was great! Dr. Webb is a kind and knowledgeable surgeon. He is thorough, listens well, very attentive and will respond when you have questions or issues. My surgery went extremely well, with Post Op care being treated with equal importance. I am very happy with Dr Webb and staff! Dr Webb's staff is very good, and kind, they care about the patients and it shows. Thank you, Dr Webb and Western Surgical!"

7/31/2024 "I can’t thank Dr. Cinelli and his surgical team enough!! I had laparoscopic surgery for my gallbladder that I have been suffering with for over a year. They were all very kind, patient, and helpful! Dr. Cinelli gave me a check-up call on Saturday to make sure I was doing okay after surgery (which most doctors do not do on weekends so I was very appreciative of that). Himself and staff were overall amazing and I highly recommend anybody needing gallbladder surgery to go to him! He assessed the issue and got me in immediately. I am now 4 days post op and outside of manageable aches and pains, I feel amazing and I am healing greatly. Dr. Cinelli and everybody at Western Surgical Group deserve nothing but kindness and respect! Their quality of care is unmatched and I am so very thankful for them."

4/13/2018 "I had a great experience at Western Surgical. I was referred for anti-reflux surgery about a month ago. Dr. Ganser answered all my questions (sometimes multiple times!) And gave me all the information I needed to make a decision. His PA, Curtis, really made the whole experience top-notch though. His bedside manner at the hospital and post-op was outstanding. The staff was wonderful and always responded in a timely manner. I would absolutely recommend this practice for surgical needs." 2017 "The procedure went exactly as Dr. Ganser said it would. He made sure that extra care and attention were given to the patient while in the hospital. We could not be more pleased with the overall experience." 2017 "I’m glad to have Dr Ganser’s expertise and direction — he plans with all of my health providers and wants to ensure we make the right choices in screening and treatment for me. I feel that he wants me to get rid of cancer, get well, and stay well!"

Thank you!!" 7/19/2022 "I want to spotlight a hard working team. My GP chose Dr. Hulka for me. She saved my life with her amazing skills as a surgeon. She is led by an incredibly caring boss who has helped me every step of the way. Today, over the phone I met the newest member of the team, Vanessa. Charming, sweet and oh so patient when you are not having the best day. What is more important than people wanting to return you to good health when you have Cancer..." 11/30/2020 "Our pediatrician referred us to pediatric surgeon Dr. Frieda Hulka regarding a lump on my two-year-old daughter's back. Dr. Hulka performed a perfect removal. It was remarkably fast with no issues." 1/17/2019 "I have only had great experiences here so far! My five-year-old is having his second surgery with Dr. Hulka soon, and I am more than comfortable with her experience as a pediatric surgeon. Whitney, who schedules for Dr. Hulka, is always pleasant to speak to, very nice and professional! I appreciate everyone at Western Surgical Group for their efforts in keeping my child feel welcomed, safe, and most of all, comfortable." 2017 "Dr. Hulka has performed surgeries on my children over the last few years. During a worrisome and upsetting time for me and my family, it was assuring knowing we had a seasoned pediatric surgeon to provide quality care to our family."
