Dr Riederer was very kind, took his time with us to explain and answer our questions. We didn't feel rushed and he was very reassuring.

Dr. Riederer had my child comfortable from the moment he walked into the exam room (she is usually more withdrawn). He was considerate, professional, and had us on the faster road to healing than where we had been. I appreciate the courtesy of all we interacted with at the office.

He was such a good doctor. He was so kind and so respectful. He explained everything in a way I could understand and he gave every detail about my condition. He made sure all my questions were answered. He listened to me as I described what I was feeling. During my exam he made sure I never felt pain. He was one of the best doctors I've ever had.
