    I question Dr. Riley's competence. I was in there for a left arm tennis elbow. I was really hoping to get a cortisone shot. He came in with his mind made up that he was not giving me a shot because back in 2023, he gave me a shot even though he said he wouldn't recommend it and he was there to say I told you so, that I need surgery. Unfortunately, he was looking at the wrong information and it was my right arm that I saw him about and got a shot in 2023. I was there to about my left arm and when I brought it back up that it was the wrong arm he was talking about, I still wasn't able to get a cortisone shot. He just wants to give me surgery with no, no therapy, no nothing, just surgery. I will not recommend him.

    Dr. Riley is a great doctor. He listens and lays out all the pros and cons (in my case - shoulder reverse surgery). You can feel that him and the staff really care about your well-being.

    Dr. Riley was very knowledgeable and very friendly with good care at home instructions. He also did a steroid injection while I was there.

    He's a phenomenal doctor. He has a great bedside manner. He explains things thoroughly. And I would recommend him to anybody. And as far as the staff in the hospital, I was in a swing bed. They are marvelous also. I've never seen so many people try so hard to make their patients happy. That's my testimony.

    I waited longer for my appointment than usual is what i was told. I waited for over a month. I guess the doctor had been on vacation, so appointments got paid out longer than usual.

    Dr. Riley has performed surgery on me in the past. He recognized me. It has been a while since I've seen him. He asked very pertinent questions. Everyone was very friendly, and I even got into my appointment earlier than I thought. So definitely no complaints here. I will definitely come back again. Thank you.
