Dr. Rider took the time to talk about all of my problems and provided reasonings for why certain things might or might not work. He was very patient and the visit did not seem rushed at all.

Great doctor. I’m actually for the first time pretty confident I’ll be able to come to a conclusion on this 10 yr medical issue with the help of this doctor.

I have been trying to fix the stomach issue i had for a while now. I decided to see Dr Rider and he found what the problem is and started the treatment. I definitely recommend him, he is a very good doctor.
March 28, 2019Doga T.Verified patient
I think Dr.Rider is a great specialist. Caring and very thorough. I will need some time to see the result of the treatment but I’m confident that if there is a treatment, Dr. Rider has considered it.

I went in for a GI consult on Jan 9th because of acid reflux issues I'd been having. Dr. Rider recommended an endoscopy, which I received on Jan 23rd. After that procedure, I waited OVER A MONTH for a follow up call from Dr. Rider or his office, but nothing came.
I called the office in early March to ask for my results and a man answered and told me that someone would follow up with me in a few days. THREE WEEKS LATER there was still no call from Dr. Rider or his office so I called again to get my results. A woman answered and seemed surprised to learn that Dr. Rider's report called for a follow-up appointment two weeks after my procedure, which would have been back in early February.
She nonchalantly listed off a few things about the pathology report (which I was hearing for the first time) and mentioned that I had inflammation indicative of GERD, but otherwise was not very apologetic or helpful about this absurd situation. She proceeded to tell me that Dr. Rider is only in the office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and was going on vacation the next week so wouldn't be able to see me for several weeks. I travel for work Mon-Weds every week, so I'm now forced to modify my work schedule to fit Dr. Rider's impossible 2-day schedule.
While all of this was going on, Dr. Rider's office apparently had the time and resources to send me TWO bills for the endoscopy procedure. This despite not even giving me the results back.
I'm usually not the type of person to write reviews but this was such a horrible and unprofessional experience that I felt compelled to warn others. This experience felt indicative of everything that's wrong with our healthcare system: namely, physicians and providers putting money before patients and lacking the level of service and quality we've come to expect in other aspects of our lives.
If you're looking for a specialist who cares deeply about his patients, is flexible and convenient, and provides high quality service, keep looking...
March 22, 2018Robert L.Verified patient
Really nice man, thorough too! His assistant is very kind and cheery as well. I do wish they used EMR and sent scripts to the pharmacy instead of paper, but I understand that it is isn't easy for smaller practices to do so. I look forward to working with him to solve my health problems.

This visit allowed me find ways to treat symptoms I was experiencing ( i.e. constipation, pain etc) however, it gets frustrating when doctors ignore the fact that you've been suppressing/"treating" these symptoms for 10 years already. I want to know the underlying cause and how to BECOME better not just "feel" better.
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
Dr. Rider is great! I would highly recommend anyone to visit him. He LISTENS to your issues and doesn't jump to diagnosing right away. Have really enjoyed visiting with him.
September 5, 2016Amanda M.Verified patient
Listened intently to my symptoms but prescribed me two medications even though he admitted he was not sure what condition I had. His quickness to prescribe medication without fully pinpointing my issue was a major concern and main reason why I sought out a different gastroenterologist.
May 16, 2016Initials hidden
he was nice, seemed caring, asked me alot of questions seemed to actually take his time and think over things. i have a follow up soon. the view from his office is awesome btw it helps if you have white coat syndrome like i do.
