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.

Absolutely Amazing!!
Dr. Riser is amazing! Her team is amazing! Dr. Riser was the attending pediatrician when my son, who is now almost 17 years old, was born. Since, she has cared for all 3 of my children and most of my nieces and nephews. From the same day sick child appointments to the attention to detail and the amount of care that goes into each of my children is the best. She's very personable and down to earth and we have truly been blessed with an amazing doctor. The whole ascension medical group is absolutely amazing!! We'll be there until they say we can't! Thank you, Doctor Riser, for all that you've done and continue to do!!

Best pediatrician!
Dr. Riser is a kind and amazing person. She genuinely cares for my girls and understands a mamas heart. She’s what medicine used to be with not feeling like a number and rushed in and out of the appointment. I feel confident in her advice and appreciate that she takes the time to answer any and all questions.

Dr. Riser and staff are the best!
Two of my children have been going to Dr. Riser since birth, and my oldest since he was 5. I am so glad we found her! I have emailed her a couple of times with concerns outside of business hours, and she always responds promptly! The wait before an appointment is always minimal. Dr. Riser has never made me feel bad to ask questions, which I have experienced in the past.
