He served as the president of this organization during his last year of medical school.
After completing an internship year at Hennepin County Medical Center, he then pursued his residency in ophthalmology at the University of Iowa, consistently ranked one of the top five ophthalmology training programs in the nation. He served as chief resident during the last six months of his residency.
Dr. Riedel continued his sub-specialty training, completing glaucoma and cataract surgery fellowships at the University of Utah John Moran Eye Center in Salt Lake City, and has been in practice since 1998.
As an assistant clinical professor of ophthalmology at the University of Minnesota, Dr. Riedel is actively involved in the clinical and surgical education of residents and fellows. He is an instructor in ocular pharmacology at Regions Hospital, and a consultant for the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Minneapolis. He frequently lectures to local and regional ophthalmologists and optometrists and serves as an examiner for the American Board of Ophthalmology, the credentialing organization for physicians seeking to practice ophthalmology.

The doctor seemed nice; He was pleasant with a smile on his face; Actually, he and his assistant Lilly were the only pleasant people I met in the clinic! It was a surgery day so he was rushing. I understood, but it was my first time meeting him and would have loved to get more acquainted with him! I couldn’t ask many questions because I felt too rushed and couldn’t think fast enough. I don’t think he even asked if I had any questions. Otherwise, he appears to be nice.
Knowledgeable,friendly, Took the time to explain
Great eye doctor very skilled and knowledgeable
Informative, intensive, professional
Warm, friendly, very skilled, happy to impart knowledge though VERY busy!
Nurse Robin was exceptional, answering questions, explaining things in detail and showing warm friendly humor
was very impressed with him, he is my new eye Dr.
He seemed to be very knowledgeable, but I literally only saw him for maybe 5 minutes. I was told he was running behind, so I guess he was in a hurry to make up time. I was disappointed that I didn’t get more time with him to ask questions and to hear about my options.
I have great confidence in Dr Riedel
Great visit… kind, considerate and did a wonderful job of improving my eye sight.
