I had to step out for a moment to help my child in the bathroom. My husband spoke with the doctor. Obesity is a concern for my child and the doctor handled it all with care and used body neutral language I greatly appreciated.

Outstanding physician .. Dr. Riba-Wolman's extensive knowledge base, and ability to connect to the patient/family is something we feel very fortunate to have access to

Dr. Riba-Wolman was above and beyond! She continually referred two times she had put into reviewing my daughter's chart the night before our visit. She drew information from multidisciplinary specialties and included her 16 year complex, oncology history, and all of her decision making. She is above and beyond as a practitioner, and clearly loves the work that she does, and it shows in her interactions with her patients!
