Patient Reviews
Mar 30, 2023
I first visited Dr. Riffer about 20 years ago to seek treatment for a debilitating chronic pain and fatigue syndrome. Dr. Riffer was willing to let me try several different drugs until we found the right one. Since then, I have been able to work full-time and enjoy a high quality life. I don't know what I would have done without Dr. Riffer. In addition, he has always provided prompt, excellent care for all of my other medical issues. I highly recommend Dr. Riffer.
