The nurse who worked with her was also good. #1. Excellent.
She gave me good care, and I will certainly go back to her.
I feel dr Rieger is very knowledgeable except she used some medical terms I do not quite understand and she spoke too fast for me to catch on. Although I understand that Stanford medical hospital has many trainees who tag along with the Docto to learn and observe, I prefer to be advised at check in rather than by the nurse after I was admitted into the room and have the option to decide if I'd am ok or prefer not to include the trainee due to privacy concern or comfort level.
Your department and the specialist doctor are world-class. Many thanks.
Dr. Rieger & staff were awesome. Exactly what I've been looking for.
