I can't say enough about Dr. Rea he's been my Doctor for 19 + years now and I certainly wouldn't have it any other way. Dr. Rea has gotten me through some rough medical issues with the Thyroid and 2 Strokes and when your going through it you can feel his compassion as if he's going through it to. I am very Grateful and Thankful for Dr. James B Rea

I have been cared for by Dr. Rea for five years. He is the best. Competent, friendly, takes the time to answer all questions, take care of all problems and is really nice. I am 79 years of age, have had many GP's in my time. Dr. Rea is the best. You will not be disappointed with him.

I have been Dr. Rea's patient for 25+ years. In my opinion he is a conservative practitioner, which I appreciate. On occasion he has provided referrals to specialists (neuro surgeon, general surgeon, dermatologist) with excellent results.

James Rea has been my primary care doctor for around 8 years. He is incredibly pleasant and very attentive -- he listens to all of my concerns and addresses each one without being condescending. I never feel rushed during my visits and I leave knowing that I have been heard. My only complaint is that I very rarely get an appointment on the day I need to see him if I am sick. I have had to visit a few urgent care offices instead.

Dr. Rea is personable and easy to talk with. Takes time to listen to the patient. Treat his patients with respect, is not condescending. He is knowledgeable and up to date on current medical practices. I know because I am involved with medical research myself. My wife and I had seen a few other general practitioners before settling on Dr. Rea. My wife likes his personality and how he interacts with her. He is respectful and trustworthy. Top notch primary care physician in Indianapolis.

A nurse first told me about Dr. Rea about 20 years ago. He is a wonderful, smart man who cares about his patients, and it is easy to give him my trust.
