Kelly Risner, MD

"I've been coming to Dr. Cole got years now and she delivered my baby back in 2015! She's a sweet and caring doctor and makes you feel at ease no matter what. I drive 45 mins to continue to see her regularly"

"Dr. Risner is fantastic. I had to have surgery, and she was so kind and patient. She explained everything really clearly and made sure I was comfortable. When I followed up with questions before surgery, she answered the same day (wow). The surgery went perfectly. I had an easy time afterwards, no complications, only a tiny amount of post-surgery bleeding (basically none), and I'm VERY happy. I should have done the surgery sooner-- worrying about it was worse than doing the surgery! Highly recommend Dr. Risner-- super kind person who is also a very talented surgeon. The hospital was also great- from reception to discharge, seriously nice people."

"I've been seeing Dr. Risner (Cole) for over 12 years and she delivered my first child. She makes sure to get to know each patient and she doesn't rush you through the appointment (although she does the internal exams very quickly!). She listens to your concerns too. I highly recommend her!"

"Had my first visit with Dr Risner and I was very impressed by her! She was personable and made me feel very comfortable. She listens to what you are saying and explains things to you in a way you understand. She's everything I was looking for in a doctor."

"Dr. Cole (Risner) has been a god send to me. I have been to at least 6 other gynecologists with concerns about chronic pelvic pain that I had been dealing with for over 10 years. Every other doctor rushed me out the door with a bandage solution, and a speech about how I am too young to know what I want, too young to choose what is best for my body. I've been told that it was my job as a woman to have children, or that I would need a husband's permission one day before anything permanent could be done for me. Dr. Risner is the first doctor I've been with who actually sat and listened to me, and took my pain seriously. She was nothing but caring and professional, and she showed genuine concern for my pain and walked me through each step in the process of figuring out what was causing so much pain. After an ultrasound and a laparoscopy, she found adenomyosis, which has no cure apart from a hysterectomy. She put the choice in my hands, and never once made me feel like I was too young to make my own decisions. She was understanding, and supportive, and she has done more for me than any other doctor in my life. 2 days ago I had my total hysterectomy, at 22 years old, and I'm so thankful to finally have an end to the pain that had become so much a part of my life. I've been dealing with it for so long that it's hard for me imagine life without it. But here I am, healing and on my way to a better quality of life, thanks to this wonderful woman."
