Patient Reviews
Mar 15, 2022
I have been having seizures for about 10 yrs before meeting dr.riskin. In and out of hospitals and being misdiagnosed. Went to Dr.Riskin for 2 visits and got fully correctly diagnosed. He has helped me the most out of all the doctors I have been to. Very responsive and friendly. My whole family is happy I found this doctor. He was able to explain to them what's wrong where other doctors failed at. I actually moved back to Illinois so I could go to this doctor. Was a 2 hour drive, then he moves to the city I live. Quite amazing
