Dr Riggs is an amazing diagnostic oncologist who is dedicated to saving my life. Her empathy and prompt attention to every question puts me in control of my cancer treatment. We love her expertise!
Care and consideration was very good
I felt tired and the Dr saw my labs and had some wheel me to ED were I was treated. I spent 7 days in the hospital. I feel better now thank you.
Dr. Riggs is very knowledgeable and takes the extra time with her patients that they need to understand their concerns. She explains her answers in a way that we can understand, never taking over our heads in doctor speak. I highly recommend her and have many times
