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.

I have been going to Dr Riley for over 25 years. He is by far the most thorough, knowledgeable and caring doctor I have ever been to. Being diagnosed the glaucoma at age 42 was depressing and I could only imagine that by the time I turned 60 I would be in really bad shape. Dr Riley has taken very good care of me over the years and my vision is not declined with my age as I expected. He stays on top of new procedures and is conservative in his approach to new studies. I have moved 100 miles from where I was 15 years ago and continue to see him on a regular basis. He is the best and I couldn't be happier with anyone else!

Dr. Riley explained The types of cataracts I had in a professional manner and with clarity. Great aftercare, called each night after surgery and follow up the next day. Vision is remarkable day after surgery. I would recommend Dr. Riley

Dr. Riley just completed my second cataract surgery with him. He and his staff are flat out the best. The results are amazing and the evening after my surgery he personally called me at 9:45 pm to follow up even though I had an 8:30 appointment the following morning! What an amazing experience!

Would never recommend this Dr. Had 2 cataract surgeries. 2 infections in each eye and now floaters and light flashes in left. Was fine until I needed after care. All they care about is getting your money. If you have a problem afterwords forget their friendly facade. Left the place in a near rage because it was more important for them to see people who still hadn't given them their money for surgery than an "unscheduled emergency". 2 weeks prior had to go five days in pain and discomfort.
