Summary

Dr. John Riggs is board certified in both Family Medicine and Hospice/Palliative Care. He graduated from medical school at the University of California, Davis in 1979 and completed a residency program in Fresno California in 1982.

When asked about his professional work history, John said, "After completing a family practice faculty development fellowship in 1983, I joined the faculty of the Fresno residency program and worked in the rural pathway in Selma, California. I moved to the Central California Faculty Medical Group in 1987 as director of the family practice department. That job entailed oversight of a large capitated panel for our multispecialty group in addition to my full-time practice."

"I began working in emergency medicine part-time in 1991, then transitioned to full-time emergency medicine in 1992. In 1994, my wife, Jane and I moved to Ohio to be close to her family. Jane is a Nurse Practitioner and the two of us have worked together in our family practice for the past 10 years in Marietta. I have been medical director of our local Hospice for the past seven years."

One of his favorite things to do is spend time with his family. He also enjoys running and sailing and says that he and Jane enjoy music and theatre together.
