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.

When my daughter began to display signs of severe sensory processing disorder - sensitivity to light and noise, chewing her fingers until they bled, twisting her hair out, failure to crawl, near-constant screaming, and severe, prolonged, violent outbursts - I asked Dr Riney several times if I should have her assessed for Early Intervention services. Dr Riney said that her behaviors were normal and typical, and that I was just a nervous new parent. She advised me to stop looking up symptoms. My daughter is now 12 and in her third hospitalization for sensory processing disorder. She was diagnosed with a 700% motor skill delay. Every day I wonder how her life would look now if I had gotten her services as a baby or toddler. I finally switched to a better practice after getting a second opinion about my son's misshapen head, which Dr Riney had insisted would reshape on its own. He ended up needing physical therapy for torticollis and six months in a corrective helmet for plagiocephaly.

Just the best pediatrician. She has been seeing our 2 boys since they were very young and they both just love her. Truly comprehensive care of the whole patient.

We have known Dr. Riney ever since our daughter was born. She is very professional, intelligent, and kind. She is like family to us. We recommend her to everyone. Our daughter has been her patient for 10 years and she has been very nice to her. She always has time to help her even if we don't have an appointment. She is always very positive and she doesn't mind if we ask her a lot of questions. She is a verry kind and caring doctor. We should have wrote this review a long time ago.
