Kimberly J. Riehle, MD

General Surgery, Prenatal Diagnosis and Treatment

On staff since September 2010

Academic Title: Associate Professor of Surgery and Pathology

"The most satisfying part of my job is helping patients and families through difficult situations, whether it be a complex congenital problem, abdominal tumor, or outpatient surgery. As a mom, I understand that even simple operations are a big deal when they happen to your child, and appreciate the uniqueness of each patient and family in my care. I take great pride in getting kids back to healthy life. My research interests include developing a cure for liver cancers that occur in otherwise healthy children, and improving prenatal diagnosis and treatment for families whose babies will require surgical care after birth."

  • Patient Testimonials

    • Maribeth Bethel, Alaska 10.28.16

      Kimbery is a very gifted and friendly doctor! She performed surgery on my 4 day old son,with professional opinions from chief surgeons, repairing my sons special type of CDH. She even came to talk to me before my son was born at UW to talk to me about my sons birth plan and his operation. She is very thorough and professional. Kimberly makes you feel comfortable from the second that you meet her, as though she is a friend you've known your whole life. Many thanks and blessings!

    • Alexis Kenmore, WA 08.28.15

      Dr. Riehle performed a hernia repair on my 6-year-old. She was incredibly kind, attentive and caring. She spoke directly to my daughter during appointments and also made me feel as comfortable as I possibly could be with a planned surgical procedure. We had three separate appointments including the day of surgery, and each time I felt that we were her top priority for the day. Dr. Riehle is smart, driven, energetic and compassionate. She has a special gift with children. Her patients are in excellent hands.

    • Carol Seattle 03.31.15

      Exceptional Surgeon With equal amounts of skill and compassion, Dr. Riehle transformed a scared, miserable emergency appendectomy patient back to my smiling 8 year-old son. She did this by covering his surgical incision with a specially cut star bandageat 3 am after a very busy Friday night in the ER. I heard there were 5 other appendectomy cases that evening, but I feel our experience would not be the same if Dr. Riehle had not given my son such personalized care and attention. My son looks back at his first ever hospital visit/stay and only remembers the cute bandage, eating popsicles and the wonderful staff that helped him heal. Many thanks!

    • Tina West Richland, WA 03.05.11

      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.
