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.

Superb! When my husband was in the hospital with an unknown condition he developed atrial flutter. Dr. Rigden came to his room within the hour after having an EKG and explained what was happening. They decided to try medication to try to get the heart back into rhythm. Two days later Dr. Rigden and his nurse literally rolled him into the lab to do the procedure to shock his heart into rhythm. Fast forward 3 months to the follow up appt., Dr. Rigden sent my husband for a stress test and found he had some abnormalities so he scheduled him for a heart cath. He actually called my husband that night to give him the diagnosis himself! Talk about bedside manners!! The next night I ended up taking my husband to the ER due to chest pressure and on Sunday morning Dr. Rigden was at my husband's bedside at 6:00AM! Due to Dr. Rigden being pro-active and diligent my husband will be healthy for the rest of his life! We can't thank Dr. R enough and we HIGHLY RECOMMEND him for anyone!

Dr Rigden has been a literal miracle doctor twice. He saved my Dads life two times, two separate heart emergencies!

I have used Dr. Rigden for three years after being referred to him by my primary. I am impressed with his promptness in keeping the appointment; his patience in explaining the cardiac problem and treatment plan and his willingness to answer all my questions. He is friendly, helpful and has a caring staff. I trust his store of knowledge and his methodical approach to remedies. He even returned my call on a Saturday. I have never found him to be impatient, brusque, or dismissive. I would recommend him in a heart beat!

Dr. Rigden is a caring & knowledgeable cardiologist. I have never been kept waiting--in fact he is usually a little ahead of schedule. He is kind and thorough with his information. He cares about your whole mental and heart health and never rushes you. He listens well and answers any questions. I respect and trust him as my cardiologist. His staff also is above the curve.

Not sure what the problem was (staff or doctor), but response to my concern was totally ignored, never heard back from office/staff. So found another doctor.
