Dr. Riley was very kind and caring. I immediately felt better and would recommend her to anyone. She aligned my spine and for the first time in years I am walking without a limp.
She accepted my insurance and there were no payment issues at all.
Dr. Riley is the best !!!

Dr Riley has been my Dr. For 11 years now. With a L5 S1 situation, she has helped me stay the competitive kid that I am today! Without her will and desire to heal, I’d be a wreck today.
Thanks Dr. Riley,
Your much needed!

Few years ago I had severe pain in both my knees. At Palo Alto medical center the doctor prescribed pain medication and suggested knee surgery. I was on pain medication but did not opt for surgery.
Dr. Riley came to my work for a health fair and explained how she can help.
In about 3 months I could stop taking pain medication. She also helped me with posture adjustment. I am free from knee pain. Later when I had pain in my arms the traction she did for my neck helped make the pain go away. The doctor at Kaiser suggested ibuprofen but didn’t identify the underlying problem. Thank you Dr. Riley.

I came to see Dr. Riley because I had severe pain in my right wrist that I thought would go way by itself, but it didn’t. She was very patient and managed to straighten my posture and reduce my wrist pain from a 10 to 3 in two months. She realized there was something else going on and suggested I see a hand surgeon. After an MRI diagnosis of inflamatory arthritis, the hand surgeon prescribed a corticosteriod 6 day meds therapy. On the second day of therapy, the swelling, stiffness and pain was completely gone. I can’t thank Dr. Riley enough for her help. She’s the best in my book.

I’ve seen Dr. Riley for about ten treatments, for lower back/​sacroiliac pain. She has been very attentive to problems and imbalance in my posture. The treatments have worked well, so that I have no pain at present. I’ll continue to see Dr. Riley every two weeks for maintenance, to avoid any relapse. Aside from being very effective professionally, she is friendly and a pleasure to work with.

Discovered Dr. Riley through our company’s health fair.
She’s very sweet and patient.
Everything was complimentary except the $ 50 for x-​rays.
She didn’t give her the «car salesman» vibe trying to squeeze every penny from me.
She even retook a xray that wasn’t to what she needed free of charge.
Too bad she’s out of network for ppo blue cross. Still, her office was kind to lend me the xrays to show another office.

I have been to several chiropractors in the past to try to fix the issue I have with my lower back. When I was a lot younger I used to do Kung Fu for nearly a decade during which time I ended up severely injuring my lower back to the point where I had to quit practicing martial arts all together. The other chiropractors I saw did some adjustments here and there only to relieve the pain temporarily. In addition to this they charged me nearly double what Dr. Riley charged.
After going to Dr. Riley for nearly a year, I have not had any random back pains except for those that were caused from over-​exerting myself during exercises. Prior to having her as my chiropractor I would have random pains that were so severe at times that there was no position I could put myself in that would be comfortable. I greatly appreciate the work she has done on me, and can’t thank her enough for being able to move about the way I am now able to.
Thank you!

I started seeing Dr. Riley nearly two years ago. I had regular visits and saw a major improvement in my life-​long scoliosis. Late last year, I moved offices which makes it much farther for me to drive. I discontinued the visits, only to realize that my headaches and backaches returned. She called me in January which made me consciously think that a 15 – 20 minute drive is worth the trouble. Now I am going almost every week and I feel the difference. Very good environment and the people are friendly too.

I’m so grateful to have Dr. Riley in my life not only because she is a fantastic chiropractor but also how kind and understanding she is. The Biophysics that she does i’ve never had done and its simple amazing, she show me how my posture is off. It make so much different in my life as a massage therapist because it make my body feel amazing and it give me knowledge on how to show my clients how to be better balances and posture. Now if you though that was enough i started to have headaches that where not regular to me. So she took a look at my neck and found out that my neck curve was not where she would like it to be, So now im even more grateful to have the knowledge of traction, I’m working hard to fit it into my life every day and i’ve had no headache since and feeling better that soon my neck will be healthy. With all her experience being a great chiropractor, dont be fooled by her size she is one strong women. Dr. Riley has really changes my life. Couldn’t be happier with Dr. Riley just wish I had more time to come she her.
Your a great Dr. cant wait to keep seeing you!

Oh boy, this is probably the worst experience me and my wife had at a chiropractor. The entire team at this facility works to hook a suffering patient and reel him/​her into expensive care.
Riley talks something that sounds like, uh, science, she calls it «biophysics». But when it comes to care, all she is interested is money. She and her team will sit you down, scare you of your condition and sometimes one, sometimes multiple people will talk to you about how much it is going to cost you. A felt like I was in a vacation resort sale.
It is surprising that establishments like these continue to mint money despite their obvious quackery.
