Jonathan V. Riddell's Online Review Report Card

We just love him thanks for all you have done...thank you so much.....

I couldn't say anything bad about him if I was paid to!!!! He truly is amazing along with his staff. When at the office or in the hospital my son gets the best care and treat me there is

excellent bedside manner and office staff thank you

Dr. Riddell did an amazing surgery for my 5 year old girl. She kept getting infections from reflux and with 3 small incisions (5mm) he was able to reimplant both ureters with the da Vinci robot and she went home the next day and now my child doesn't have to take any more antibiotics

When I was 16 years old (12 years ago) I went to doctor after doctor with lots of symptoms. I knew there was something wrong with my left kidney. None of them believed me, or cared enough to listen. Then after a year of suffering I begged to see a specialist/Urologist. As soon as Dr. Riddell looked at me, he beleived me, sent me for one test and found out that i had major cysts. I had to go for a surgery and was told that I would have died within a few months if I hadn't found him, possibly days if my cysts would have ruptured. If it wasn't for him I would have died as a teenager. He is a great man and Doctor.

Please consider getting another opinion before trusting this doctor.

I would never consider allowing this doctor, Jonathan Riddell, to treat and/or perform any type of surgery on my child. He diagnosed my child with a high grade of kidney reflux and wanted to perform a ureteral reimplantaion on him/her. This is an extensive surgery -- my child is almost 5. Upon obtaining multiple second opinions, all of which were from pediatric urologists recognized in the country, my child was diagnosed with low grade, 2, kidney reflux, on ONE side. He/She was put on antibiotic prophelaxis, and hasn't had any infections to date. The two pediatric urologists, aside from Dr. Riddell, we saw explained that most children with low grade kidney reflux grow out of it by age 5-6. Dr. Riddell wanted to perform an unnecessary surgery on my child. I hope that you will get a second opinion before trusting this doctor at his word.

Dr. Riddell is now in Syracuse specializing in robotic surgery on children.

Great doctor now in USA specializing in children. We are going to miss him.

Let me start by saying I never saw Dr. Riddell as a patient but they would not let me comment w/out filling out the rating numbers. With that said, I met Dr. Riddell in Thunder Bay while he was there doing a charity event. I had the pleasure of conversing with him long enough to know, without doubt, that this is a person of integrity, class, and kindness. He left such a good impression that I feel compelled to address the people who have made negative remarks here. When you malign someone publicly, as you have done here, it says far more about you than it does about the person to whom you are referring. Perhaps there should be a website dedicated to rating patients as there is always another side to every story. Sorry to know Ontario lost such a decent human being!
