I felt as though he knew what he was doing. It was very professional, but it was also very, very, very rushed to get in and out. We couldn't get to all of our questions before he ended the session.

Mike Riley is an amazing Dr. and I've been with him 17 years with all the ups n downs... he has took my heart to a very good place but my body just seems to reject any great Dr. care, this sucks. But this isn't Riley's fault and I'm thankful for him !!! FACT ! He's recommended a pacemaker for my condition which hey sounds good my crazy hide rejected everything else. He's a Fantastic Man, a great person, and hugely an Electrophysiology Specialist that needs a raise, a Brand New Car, and a long vacation somewhere warm with fantastic seafood !! Yup. Ask me again I'll say the same in person or online !! YOU ROCK MIKE !!!

Three issues, the first important the others less so: there was a problem transferring my medical records into your system (I personally faxed them and assured that they were received). Second, the on-line registration system did not work: I entered clinical and insurance data but it wouldn't take my scanned cards (I tried repeatedly). Finally, intake (history, vitals) was perfunctory and inaccurate.

Atmosphere was very comforting, staff was friendly. physician was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions and concerns. I have some fears concerning my A-Fib diagnosis and he was able to decrease my stress level and educated on different treatment plans for A-Fib. I left the appointment feeling better and understanding how to live with a fib.
