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! From the moment she walked into the room.
Top Notch : Welcoming, personable, compassionate, empathetic, in addition to my neurological issues. That my appointment was for , she was empathetic to other medical needs and pain, Very very knowledgeable listens to the patient explains the diagnosis and steps and the reason behind them. I did not feel rushed and the plan we had a place put me in the position to receive the best medical care anywhere.. I trust her prognosis completely and her advice and medical treatment.Her care of my medical medical needs went above and beyond any expectation I could’ve had. Bravo kudos Dr. Rioja , thanks

Amazing doctor

Dr. Rioja will literally do whatever it takes to help you get your life back!! She is also not one of those doctors where you always have to worry about advocating for yourself and hoping she will listen- SHE advocates for YOU! She is truly the best. I feel so much relief after leaving her appointments, which is so rare!

The best Doctor I've ever met. Spent 40 minutes with me listening to my unusual history of migraines and amnesia. She actually taught me some very informative and fascinating things. I feel like she really cares.

I am very thrilled I made the decision to see Dr. Rioja, I have dealt with a chronic issue for 3 plus years and have been looking for a doctor to work with me. She did not rush the appointment and genuinely listed to my issues. She came up with a different diagnosis along with a new medication to try, and after 3 years I am finally having some relief.

Dr. Rioja is an outstanding care provider in every way: She does not neglect to investigate any sign, symptom, or patient complaint. She is an amazing diagnostician and has averted disaster for me on more than one occasion. I could not recommend her more highly.

She is an outstanding physician that truly cares about her patients. She is warm, patient, thoughtful and extremely well qualified. She listens intently, tests when needed to, not just take care of your symptoms but to actually find the root cause of the issue that affects you. I am so glad that she is my neurologist. I am blessed.
