First timer and wow no one explains things better then him. He treats you like a friend. I would recommend him to everyone. Only one issue and not with him but his staff could be a bit more friendly, smile a bit more, look who you are working for. I'll take your place in a heartbeat.

I’m a senior and have seen many physicians in many states. Dr Riley is the most compassionate, knowledgeable, respectful, thorough Dr who has ever treated me. Very fortunate to have found him. Thank you so very much, Dr.Riley.

I’m a senior who has been to many doctors in many states ad a few other countries. Dr. Riley is gold. He takes the extra time to explain every aspect of the care and treatment. Very thorough and he’s a sincerely warm, caring person. His office crew are very polite and the surgical team at Grand Dunes was professional, focused while maintaining warmth (also in the form of heated blankets). Thank you all! It was so well appreciated.

Dr. Riley is extremely competent, but he is also a compassionate, thorough, and caring individual. While he has treated me for two cataracts and glacoma, it was the emergency care he provided to a visiting relative who was rejecting a corneal transplant that made me recognize his limitless dedication to his specialty and all people in need. He is an exceptional doctor and man.
