About Me

I enjoy taking time with each of my patients. It’s important to me that patients understand their cancer, the various treatment options available and the side effects associated with each of the treatments. 

Ever since I learned that the immune system has the potential to eradicate cancer, my academic life has been focused on this fact. Clinically, my focus is breast cancer. I have introduced several advances since joining St. Luke's, such as sentinel lymph node surgery, advanced genomic testing and intraoperative radiation therapy for breast cancer. I have also published medical papers in each of these areas. Additionally, I strongly advocate for clinical trials in breast cancer.

I am dedicated to the community and spend time outside of work supporting cancer awareness and prevention events.

No one ever wants to have an appointment with a cancer center. With that being said, your staff must really have a heart for oncology because they were kind, respectful and patient.

Best crew around , caring attentive

01/19/2024
The speed in which getting into speak to a surgeon about a complication associated with my surgery I found remarkable. It was always my assumption surgeons were extremely busy and that within hours of having my call/email answered I was scheduled and met with Dr. Riley just confirms once again, his highest commitment to the health and overall well being of his patients. I feel so extraordinarily blessed I have him as my surgeon. Every person (to a fault) I have had a conversation with about Dr. Riley hold him in the same high esteem. If St. Luke's needs any help being reminded of this gem of a human being in their network, I would be honored to give them multiple specifics as to how his exemplary work and pure and simple care and concern for his patient's overall well being (mind, body and spirit) makes me thank God I've been fortunate to have him as "my surgeon." It is priceless to have a human you can put your faith into with for such important life altering choices and outcomes and they exceed one's expectations. His lengthy career, "smarts", wisdom, own life's experiences, care, concern, spirituality, work ethic, curiosity, passion and compassion are quietly and humbly packaged up in this unassuming human form whose focused attention brought such calm meeting this human entering the network's cancer specialist and immediately provided me on every level such a degree of respect, empathy and professionalism putting me immediately at ease. In ending, I truly believe having Dr. Riley as my surgeon (and Dr. Lam as my plastic surgeon) was divinely aligned.
