“ I finally found someone that listens to me and is understanding my pain situation. My quality of life is being affected. It’s affecting my driving and just holding the brakes at a red light is painful. God only knows what would happen if I had to apply the brakes very hard.
Dr Riddle gave me options but ultimately recommended knee replacement and I have agreed to the procedure in mid October 2026.”

I was very well pleased with the Dr and his staff. My only issue was I waited over an hour before I ever seen the Dr for my injections. I understand that sometime things come up and that cant be helped.
It will not keep my from going back in the future.

Zero information that I filled out on Zocdoc made it to their system. I had to do everything in the office on paper, which was frustrating because I took an hour out of my day when I booked on Zocdoc to fill out all the information that was asked of me after booking the appointment. It was very frustrating and I could tell that they see this hourly and daily so the staff could not offer any help in regards to why my information was not there. ? This is a technology partnership failure, and is easily avoided in these days and ages of technology databases can’t talk to each other. They’ve been doing it for 40 years. They do it even better now.
March 18, 2026Joe R.Verified patient
Dr. Riddle was called out to an emergency right after I checked in for my appointment, so my wait was longer than expected but not unreasonable and I was still able to see him. I appreciated his effort to get back quickly to his patients -- and he took time with me to explain my knee issue in a kind and detailed way.

Dr. Riddle is fantastic!

Very nice staff. Dr Riddle let me know what was going on with my foot/ankle. It was something that he couldn’t do but found me a doctor that could. Most doctors would not do that. Actually he’s the first to ever help.
October 20, 2025Candace M.Verified patient
Dr Riddle was patient, calm, took his time to explain and answer questions and give guidance. Dr Riddle came highly recommended by my physical therapist. The office is nice, clean, easy to get to. The staff was efficient even with a long line as soon as the office opened. They worked through everyone quickly.
