Dr. Reuss has a special interest in Women’s Health.
While cardiology is a co-ed specialty, Dr Reuss dedicates her outpatient practice exclusively to female patients. She focuses on the unique cardiovascular problems as they pertain to women. Most importantly is to foster a welcoming, safe, educational experience to talk about the most intimate cardiac concerns. Her goal is to create relationships that empower a woman to own her own health.
In 2021, in collaboration with HonorHealth, Dr Reuss launched the Cardio-Obstetrics Clinic within the Woman’s Heart Health Clinic located at the Honor Health Shea Campus. This allows for seamless care of high risk OB patients, or preconception counseling as well as postpartum management of preeclampsia, valvular heart disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, peripartum cardiomyopathy, spontaneous coronary artery dissection, Ehler’s Danlos, Marfan’s syndrome patients.
