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.

Amazing!
Gives you so so much time. Very knowledgeable about his field. Wants to check up regularly. Shows compassion and empathy which in 2022 some healthcare professionals seem to have forgotten. Not a 5/5. 10/10. I can’t say enough good things about how he has impacted my overall health. From going to the University of Iowa then to Mayo Clinic and back to the UofI I can say without hesitation Dr Riggs has helped me more in 2 months than both those “best of the best hospitals” have done.
