DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILDREN HERE. I understand that options in the surrounding area are very limited when it comes to pediatricians, but Dr. Travis J. Riddell is the most arrogant, pompous person I have ever interacted with.
Recently, I brought my nephew in to see Dr. Riddell and because he has a complicated medical history, including substance exposure (at birth) Dr. Riddell threatened to call the Department of Family Services--for what reason? I have no idea.
Please understand, I, myself, am a social worker and infant mental health specialist and as part of my day job I screen children for abuse and neglect. Dr. Riddell wouldn't listen to what I had to say--he yelled at me in the exam room and stormed off when I demanded a valid explanation for his "concerns" regarding my nephew--which he couldn't provide. As I was about to leave, he all of the sudden wanted to discuss the situation with me--but only after I demanded to know his state medical license number from the front desk.
I have never been treated worse in my life, as a patient and as a person. This man is arrogant--and worse--apparently he is the owner of this practice? If this is the way he can treat me, as a mental health professional and child advocate, I have no idea how he must be treating everyone else.
I am not someone who ever writes reviews, but I feel such a strong obligation to warn other parents and family members about this man that here I am writing my first review of anything, ever. Do not trust this doctor, he will not listen to you, he will simply judge you based on his ego and arrogance. I will never take a child to this practice, ever again. read more
