He was my doctor for at least 20 years, and I never had any problems with him. Very kind, always polite, and never judged anyone. He was there for me, whatever issue I had when I needed help. I will always remember him in the most cherished way. - Posted by: maia (patient and friend) on: Oct 02, 2014

I was a patient at his clinic on River Avenue years ago. I ran into him again at the Health Sciences Centre. I was going through radiation at the same time he was. I was so sad to see he was ill. I got to speaking to both himself and Kevin in the waiting area on numerous occasions. Just heard now that he had passed on a few years ago. I was sad to hear. My deepest condolences. - Posted by: Adiena Woods (forner patient) on: Jun 09, 2014

Dr Riordan was a great person! He was nice. He was my and my son's Doctor for almost 20 years! This shocking news came to me from Andrea Fontaine. Dr Riordan is now in Heaven, cheers! - Posted by: Heidi and Kiel Kohl (patients) on: Feb 04, 2012

DR. RIORDAN was our family doctor in Winnipeg for at least 12 years prior to our moving away from the city in 2000. He was very thorough as he exhausted all searches in order to acquire a diagnosis. At the time my husband was so ill that he had to quit work. 'Paddy' was vigilant and went to bat for us. Later my mother died and he was most supportive for my grief. He was a man of few words but he had a heart of gold. ==A great man and a loss to the medical profession. - Posted by: Rosemary Angell (Acquaintance) on: May 29, 2011
