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.

She’s a tremendous help to me!
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Emily Riser’s for several years. Multiple Sclerosis is her primary focus in neurology, which is what I see her for. I trust and respect her tremendously! Thankfully, she works great with my other physicians.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Riser?
No one ever answers the phone. I am sent to an answering machine every time I call for an appointment. No one EVER calls me back. I am a current patient of Dr Riser’s, my symptoms are getting worse every day, and after three weeks of trying to get an appointment- I give up. I am going to another doctor. I called Dr Riser’s office to ask that my records be sent to my new doctor. Of course, no one answered the phone, I was sent to the answering machine, doubtful that anyone will call me back.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Riser?
Her nurse practitioner is rude and unsympathetic. I will leave this place as a patient. I am talked down to and interrupted. I’m tired of seeing her np and not getting medications filled or any new plan of care management for the issues going on currently and everything being referred to as past issues just glaring up. They have really lost my respect. No calls back either.
