Dr. Brian Martin Riordan, MD

He is very professional but distant. Back pain was getting worse and the medicine he ordered was no help at all. I was just getting another appointment each time I saw him and felt like I was getting nowhere .

Absolutely atrocious patient care. I was advised i could be helped via telehealth while the office was closed during COVID. so i kept the appointment. I spent $170 to be told there was nothing i could do until the office was reopened. Billing never submitted to insurance so my insurance didn't even cover it. Billing was completely unhelpful. When i finally saw the doctor, he was knowledgeable and transactional. He gave me the lidocaine shots, with no effort to look into the underlying cause of the pain and had no recommendations for improvement. The practice is clearly predicated on volume, patient churn and revenue, with little concern for ethics and patient improvement.

great service Dr. Brian Riordan has been my doctor for over 3 years not one complant

Saw me once and told me I would have to learn to live with the chronic pain I have.

Dr. RIordan is a good guy, low key, and spends plenty of time explaining the details.

RUN, DON'T WALK TO DR RIORDAN HE ACTUALLY LISTENS ASKS RELEVANT QUESTIONS HAS ALL PRIOR TESTS AND PATIENT INFO ASSEMBLED AND AT HIS SIDE HE IS SHY BUT KIND AND RESPECTFUL A REAL DOCTOR

He is a great Dr. Although he is bery quiet he listens and is accurate

While Dr. Riordan does not make an initial impression of warmth and social ease, we found him to be very sharp, thoroughly knowledgeable, receptive to family input, happy to answer all questions, and respectful of his patient. I'm not looking for a smooth personality in a physician -- if you want a highly competent Physiatrist, Dr. Riordan fills the bill.

Dr. Riordan is very skillful and knowledgeable. His bedside manner was extremely professional. He answered my many questions and even called me a few days after my initial visit with information he had researched online that would be helpful with my condition. I've had trigger point injections (many times) and nerve conduction tests and I can honestly say that he is very gentle and caring. He explains everything in detail and provides a dynamic that I've not experienced with other physiatrists. Some people feel that he is cold and unfeeling....I dispute this. I've read the other reviews and think they are just angry people who didn't get what they want so they feel it's appropriate to bad-mouth a good doctor. He has treated me, several members of my family and many of my friends whom I've recommended. He is extremely knowledgeable and has helped many patients gain functionality back after suffering strokes or other traumatic brain injuries. He is also certified in the… treatment of wounds and spends one day a week at the Danbury Hospital Morganti Wound Center.

During his evaluation visit of my elderly relative, this "doctor" answered his personal cell phone and chatted. He has no bedside manner, is cold, brash and doesn't appear to be fond of the elderly. Wouldn't waste my time seeing him.
