The best is in your own backyard! Dr. Harry Reich operates out of
WilkesBarre, Scranton, and New York City. You can find him at:
http://www.adlap.com
http://www.womenssurgerygroup.com/physicians/
The http://www.adlap.com website has his "contact" information in which you can
call for an appointment -- he also lists his email addy! He is an
absolutely unbelievable doctor/person -- they don't come any better.
