Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

very personable and thorough
on time and efficient with care and time with me.

Fantastic
I have been a patient of Dr. Riesenman for years. He is a phenomenal doctor with a great bedside manner. He is knowledgeable and friendly. He listens well and explains things in way that non-medical people can understand. His staff is amazing- Karen (his nurse) is tremendous and is one of the finest nurses in the area (and I should know, I have a few nurses in my family!). Also, the people upfront are GREAT (especially Kim- the one bad review of this exceptional doctor and his staff was one of the reasons I chose him years ago. Someone complained that a medication wasn’t given out due to not knowing the patient- THATS A GOOD THING!!!! Meds should NEVER be given to a patient with little or no background information!) . This doctor and his staff are GREAT and I feel fortunate to be his patient.

I left a previous comment and want to extend this even further. Dr. Riesenman called me last week just to see if I followed up on two appointments that he recommended. I do have those appointment scheduled. It never fails, I alway seem to have something wrong that is never easily diagnosed. Hopefully these upcoming appointments will help in that matter. The other reason for writing this second review is to put a special shout out for Karen. This is the doctors assistant. She is one special lady. She always asks you to fill her in on what brings you here today before the doctor sees you. She is an awesome listener and recommended a good nutritionist who was a friend of hers. I see her monthly and she is great. Her name is Debbie Kispert .

Moved to the area 06/2018 I was very nervous about having to find new Drs that are competent to deal with my health issues, take their time,have good bedside manor and work along side a great staff. I have to say Dr. Riesenman is probably the best Dr I have ever had! He is smart and I trust him! I am dealing with some health issues but I know everything is going to be ok because I am in his care!!

Dr Riesenman treats his patients both objectively and subjectively. He has an excellent knowledge base and skill set, but perfects his care by really listening to his patients. As both a healthcare professional and a patient of 20 years, I highly recommend him!!!

Dr. Riesenman always treated me with respect and answered all my questions. He is down to earth and I felt he could relate to whatever we needed to discuss. I am no longer living in Jersey, but I would always refer Dr. Riesenman to whomever asked for my recommendation.

Dr. Riesenman is an excellent doctor in my opinion. He is honest, to the point and does an excellent job educating his patients with facts. When an issue came up for me, he offered me a few options and took the bull by the horn when I wasn't getting what I needed from his office staff.
