KIndest and gentlest of any doctor I've ever had. She is extremely knowledgeable and listens to you (which is a huge plus in my book). I would highly recommend her. My husband, mother, sister and best friend all go to her.

Dr. Risk is such a great caring doctor, who listens to the patient, and put the patients needs first. I just love and trust her caring for me and knowing she will make the best possible decisions when it comes to my care.

I have been a patient of hers for over 15 years. She has gone above and beyond what she has needed to do for me. she is very thorough and has stood by my side through my illness . If i need anything... I know she is there to recommend something and to let me know the pros and cons. I value her opinion and take her word very seriously. You couldnt ask for a better physician!!! My good friend introduced me to her and I have been with her since. WONDERFUL DOCTOR! LOVE HER TO PIECES!
