Academic Title: Associate Professor, Surgery

"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."

  • Biography

    Kimberly Riehle, MD, is an attending surgeon at Seattle Children's Hospital. She was born in Jefferson, Iowa and went to high school in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Both of her parents were teachers. She attended Washington University in St. Louis, double majoring in Chemistry and French. She received her medical degree from Emory University School of Medicine, followed by surgical training at the University of Washington affiliated hospitals and Boston Children's Hospital. Her clinical interests include helping families in difficult situations, including caring for babies with congenital anomalies and patients with cancer. Her son Jonah was born in 2004, and her husband is an adult thoracic surgeon.

    • Monisha Bellevue, WA 08.09.23

      Dr. Riehle is truly an expert surgeon who has the courage and skill to take on complex, high-risk surgeries, as well as the judgment and experience to manage unexpected complications. She debulked a large tumor I had in my lungs that was about to close off my airway. This complex surgery took a great deal of upfront planning and coordination across multiple teams as the state of my airway meant that I would need to be intubated while awake and also have an ECMO machine on standby in the room. In addition to working with other teams, Dr. Riehle also spoke to me and my parents multiple times at length to answer all of our questions in detail. She even came to see me in the hospital on a holiday to discuss the surgery as it needed to be done urgently. The surgery itself turned out to be even more complex than anticipated, as my tumor bled extensively. But thanks to Dr. Riehle’s skill and extensive planning, she still got me through it without issue. I recovered faster than expected and was healthy enough to move on to other cancer treatments less than two months later. Dr. Riehle is an incredibly skilled and dedicated surgeon who has the willingness to take on very difficult surgeries for patients with no other options. I would not be here without her.

    • Sarah Bremerton, WA 07.11.23

      My daughter was born unexpectedly early at 28 weeks. From the start, she has been a complex case. Shortly after arriving at Seattle Children's, it became obvious that she would need surgery. The amount of fear we had surrounding our 3lb daughter was immense, but Dr. Riehle's calm and kind demeanor, as well as her expertise helped us to feel confident that this was the right choice. Sadie ended up needing three more surgeries and we are so grateful that Dr. Riehle was able to be our surgeon. We could have had the last procedure done at our local hospital, but chose to come back to Seattle for Dr. Riehle. We are forever grateful for Dr. Riehle and her expertise.
