JOHN ALEXANDER REUTER, M. D.
Dr. John A. Reuter, a well known medical practitioner and surgeon, who owns and conducts The Dalles Hospital, was
born in Wisconsin in 1876, a son of A. L. and Christina (Haas) Reuter. The father was one of the very early settlers
of that state, where he operated a large spoke and hub ruanufactory and where he was also engaged in banking for
some years.
Dr. John A. Reuter began his education in the graded schools of his home town, later entering Oakland College.
He received his medical education at Rush Medical College, Chicago, from which institution he was graduated with
the degree of M. D. in 1897. Later in that yea; he went to Europe and took postgraduate courses at the Vienna General
Hospital in the city of Vienna, at the St. Thomas Hospital, London, and at Guy's Hospital, London. On leaving the
last named he returned to America and took additional work at Bellevue Hospital, New York, and at the Northwestern,
Chicago, and in 1901 he removed to Portland, Oregon, where he commenced the practice of his profession. His health
demanding a removal from the coast, he came to The Dallies in 1902 and renewed his practice, which has steadily
grown until the Doctor now enjoys a prominent place in his profession.
In addition to his office practice, Dr. Reuter owns and conducts The Dallies Hospital, which he established in
association with others. At the time the hospital was opened for the reception of patients, its capacity was limited
to fifteen, but under his capable management it has been gradually enlarged, and in the spring of 1920 the accommodation
was equal to handling eighty-five patients, and further extensions were in contemplation at the time this sketch
was written.
Dr. Reuter, while a specialist in surgery, also gives his attention to the demands of a general practice, and he
is equally expert in the medical as in the surgical department of his profession. His hospital is equipped with
the latest modern appliances and is not surpassed by any similar institution in the West, his skill in the treatment
of the cases entrusted to his care being at all times in keeping with his reputation.
Dr. Reuter has numerous fraternal affiliations, among them being membership in the Elks, while in the Masonic order
he is a Knight Templar and a Noble of the Mystic Shrine. He is a member of the Oregon State Medical Society; president
of the Mid-Columbia Medical Society, and a member of the American Medical Association, in the affairs of all of
which he takes a warm and practical interest. He is a member of The Dalles Chamber of Commerce, and in other directions
he gives of his time and ability to the advancement of all movements pertaining to the welfare of the community
in which he resides.
