Had an issue after surgery and my other Dr was not available. Dr Riley was up to speed in no time and helped me sort things out.

Dr Riley saw me for the first time on an urgent request. All staff were very friendly and professional. Dr Riley was very helpful and explained my situation and diagnosis in terms that were very easy to understand. He treated me like a long term friend as well as a patient. He adjusted my medications and was able to secure a next day follow up referral appointment. I was very appreciative for this appointment and treatment.

A few minutes after arriving, I was sent downstairs for diagnostics when I came back upstairs. I only waited a few minutes before I was taken in to an exam room. Shortly after that, Dr. Riley came in very pleasant. Good conversationalist explained my situation and told me I needed to have surgery the following day and explained why. He did a great job.

Dr Riley was extremely kind, and understanding. He addressed my issue and told me what he thought was happening and why. His confidence and demeanor were extremely reassuring. If I needed urgent eye care again, or otherwise, I would choose Dr. Riley!
