Review for Dr. Riddle
Dr. Cha is an outstanding physician, and my experience in my initial visit was exemplary. He is professional, considerate, and thorough. He explains observations in simple to understand terms, and always asked if there were questions (which he responded to comprehensively).

Dr. Riddle takes the time to make sure that all your concerns are met. His bedside manners are simply wonderful and caring! All the staff from check in, to check out are all kind and professional.

Review for Dr. Riddle
Dr Rainwater is very thorough and professional, but also very personable and down to earth. Doesn’t rush, so you can feel you are an important patient, not just another number. Highly recommend. You must ask for him specifically or you will get another professional in the office.

Not very helpful, was not considerate in what I was experiencing. Seemed as though he did not believe what I was telling him. Would not recommend to anyone trying to get better.
