I would drive a hundred miles to keep my children with Dr. Riser. Both she and her nurse are very friendly, knowledgable, and truly care about my kiddos. I have had nothing but great experiences with her!

My kids have been seeing Dr. Riser for 5 years. She is caring, friendly, and competent, and she has responded quickly when we needed something after hours.

Dr. Riser is a wonderful pediatric doctor. She is kind and caring. Her bedside manner is excellent. She prides herself in getting to know the patient and family. Many times we have had a sick little one and all appointments were full for the day- she graciously worked him in. I highly recommend this doctor

If you are the kind of parent that insists that the doctor "give" your child something then maybe this doctor isn't for you. She is actually smart enough to know when to prescribe and when not to prescribe. This lady is very good at what she does and if you put your kids health in her hands you won't be making a mistake. My child has been asthmatic along with A D Syndrome and he lives a normal life due to her management and skill as a physician. Besides, she actually has a great bedside manner, which is a bonus for the children.

I love my girls doctor. She is always smiling, always seems happy to see us, and she seems to have a very down to earth personality. I recommend her to anyone that is looking for a great pediatrician. She always looks at both kids not just the one she is seeing and really seems to love her job.

Used to like her but think her "oh its nothing" attitude isnt very good when there is really something wrong with your child. Shes great if there is nothing wrong or its just something really minor. She's super sweet and the children love her but don't go to her if you think its something serious with your child.

Profesional but easy to get along with and always spends a little extra time with the kids. How many kids are there that actually ask to go see their Dr? Mine do.....
