About
I am a Family Medicine Physician who strives to provide equitable, compassionate, and empowering care to all. I am experienced and love caring for patients of all ages and stages from newborn to geriatrics, with a special interest in pediatric care, women’s health, and addiction medicine.
I am also experienced and able to perform many procedures including dermatologic, GYN, and joint injections in addition to many others.
I consider it a privilege to get to know my patients and their families and establish long term relationships, all of which facilitate my ability to provide holistic, patient-centered care.
Patient Comments
Very kind and makes me feel she is truly listening to what I say
Dr. Rigby is an amazing primary doctor. She takes all my concerns seriously and does a really good job of informing me about what I can do to better my health. I lost some weight since our last visit and she noted it but didn't comment on it other than that. I really appreciate that because I have had horrible experiences with doctors in the past who have shamed me for gaining weight or praised me for losing weight. Doctors praising my weight loss has been harmful to me in the past because because it's led to me putting a lot of value on my weight. Dr. Rigby doesn't fixate on the number on the scale and instead relies on how I'm feeling and my bloodwork. My weight is just part of my health and Dr. Rigby does a great job of making me feel that there are other things I can do for my health apart from just losing weight.
I've already recommended Dr. Rigby to friends and family. 2 of them are now her patients.
After being with my previous primary care provider/family doctor for 20+ years, I was very nervous about changing doctors. Dr. Rigby, Is absolutely amazing. I have already referred her to several of my friends since meeting her last week. She's a very nice, fun and uplifting person. Extremely easy to communicate with and answered all of my questions.
All was good Dr. Rigby and the staff were all good.
