Board certified, he is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons where he just completed a three year term as Councilor and serves as a member of the Board of Governors and as Vice Chairman of the Manhattan Council of the American College of Surgeons. Dr. Reiner performs hundreds of general surgical procedures each year and has trained dozens of residents and fellows in advanced laparoscopic procedures.
