The whole experience was great. thanx.
Dr was very engaged with my concerns and reasons for the appointment. I was impressed with her knowledge, caring manner and the amount of time she spent with me. She's a diamond in the rough
The experiences I had with Dr. Risley in the emergency room, transferred over into her office care. She is top-notch as well as her team. Unfortunately, my appointment ran a little late, but I'm quite understanding, and she was probably helping out someone else. I would absolutely refer her and or her team to loved ones, friends, and anyone really that is searching for care.
I had a great experience with my visit with Dr Risley. She was very knowledgeable and professional. She listened to my concerns and provided good information and advice and guidance. She is very understanding and compassionate.
Dr. Risley is so kind and compassionate and understanding. She is the best!
