Kimberly J. Riehle, MD

General Surgery

On staff since September 2010

Academic Title: Acting Assistant Professor of Surgery and Pathology

"Liver failure can be devastating, often leading to severe illness, the need for transplantation, and in some cases even death. My efforts are aimed at improving the lives of children devastated by liver disease or injury and returning them to health. As a physician and a mom, I take particular care in explaining surgical diseases and operations to patients and families."

Dr. Riehle performed surgery on my 16 year old son for his Chrons disease. She removed part of his small and large intestine plus his appendix. She was very personal and professional both before and after the surgery, always keeping us informed and explaining every detail very clearly. I felt she truly wanted what was best for my son and my son trusted her completely. I highly recommend her and feel very secure with her as a doctor.
