        Dr. Riley did an outstanding job on my very delicate, high risk spine surgery. He was very clear in his pre-surgery diagnosis and explanation of the surgery. He has been very thorough in my post-op visits of my status and recommended next steps. He has been great in listening to my questions and answering them clearly and openly. I highly recommend Dr. Riley for high-risk spine surgery.

        I am not sure the provider or scribe really listened to my explanation of my symptoms. The visit notes had incorrect information from what I stated during the visit. The physician provided me with exercises for my lower back when the pain was in my upper back scapula region. On my last visit with him last year he was 3 hours late and he never apologized. This visit was less than 10 minutes.
