This was our first time meeting with Dr. Riaz after Dr. Garcia Gracia leaving. We will miss Dr. Gracia but find Dr. Riaz has the same patience. We look forward to building on the doctor-patient relationship and receiving the same level of care and attention that Laura has been receiving since becoming a neurology patient of Cleveland Clinic.
