So sorry to hear Dr Riner passed away. He made the dread of going to the doctor a more pleasant visit because of his kind spirit.

My family has Dr. Riners family in our thoughts and prayers. Heaven gained an angel of a doctor and he will be missed greatly. Our hearts are heavy with grief. He was more than just your family doctor. He cared about his patients. No-one will ever be able to take his place. Kind,caring,soft spoken and always leaves your room with a reassuring smile. RIP my friend
