Dr. Riger has always given me good care. He is quick to assess and so far spot on. He allows questions and takes time to answer them in understandable language. He is always available when needed and does not over treat. The latter is important as I don't ever want to jump through unnecessary hoops. He's quiet and unassuming but thorough and communicates the essentials.

Do NOT go there. If you want to be treated like a peasant then go. The staff are rude and need to be replaced. Such a shame because he is a great doctor but staff have got to go.

Found him to be exactly what a person would want, especially in a crisis situation. He researched, followed up with other medical professionals, in an attempt to solve the problem. He was personable, and compassionate with family members, and the patient. Would highly recommend him.

I will not go back to his office unless a few of the staff leaves. Too bad for me as he is a good doctor.
