I have tried to find an answer to my symptoms at two other facilities. Dr. Risbano LISTENED and did a deep dive into my records , and did additional tests to finally find an answer. He communicated well. His team was very helpful thruout the process.

Dr. Risbano listened carefully to my concerns and addressed each one. It sometimes involved his looking up info to give me the right answer, but he was very willing to do that. He has a great demeanor and always makes me feel at ease.

Dr. Risbano spent more time with me that most doctors with whom I have had experience. He was very thorough in his questions of me related to my condition and took time to explain steps that I should be following to maximize treatment.
