Patient Reviews
May 30, 2023
This doctor is amazing. She literally saved my daughter's life by making a split second decision to operate within seconds upon arrival. We spent 22 years with a very healthy daughter who suddenly began seizures due to a brain abscess. Dr. Riley and the Amazing Team at UAB literally changed my daughters life forever. Dr. Riley knows exactly what she is talking about and easily puts the family at ease knowing she is taking care of your loved ones. I cannot say enough about her and the amazing teams at UAB.
