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.

I took my MRI in to the doc to get it explained to me, she referred me to the internet for an explanation. She didn't even specify a website, just said for me to 'look up the terminology on the internet to understand what everything meant'. When I told her I had questions about follow-up actions that may be needed, especially to address pain management, she just wrote a prescription w/o looking at my data. When I asked to have my questions answered, she said I would have to make a follow up appointment. Why would I make a follow up appointment for the same reason I came in initially? Disappointed with this doctor.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Riascos?
Dr. Riascos treats me for Neuropathy, Fibromyalgia, and degenerative joints (age related). She performed a nerve conduction study that answered my questions as to why everything hurts. Dr. Riascos listens, cares, promotes a healthy lifestyle including, exercise, eating habits instead of prescribing pain medications like some doctors do. Her specialties treat people with health conditions much worse than mine. I'm grateful I found this practice and have total confidence in Dr. Riascos.
