Dr. Richard Rigby Jr.'s inspiration to become a doctor came from his uncle who is a cardiovascular surgeon and cares for very sick patients. In his training, Dr. Rigby found he enjoys family medicine because of the opportunity to care for all ages, from newborns to geriatrics, and helping them live the healthiest life as possible.
Along with family medicine, his training includes obstetrics and he enjoys applying his knowledge of women's health and pediatrics to enhance his care in the family medicine setting. Building relationships is important to Dr. Rigby and he enjoys working as a team with his patients. "Medical problems can be complicated and overwhelming so I try help patients make informed decisions about their health," he says.
Dr. Rigby completed his undergraduate degree from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth and earned his medical degree from University of Texas School of Medicine in San Antonio. He completed his residency with Providence St. Peter Family Medicine in Olympia, Washington.
Born and raised in Sugar Land, Texas, Dr. Rigby grew up playing competitive sports and after studying abroad in New Zealand he discovered a love for outdoor activities that are not available in Texas. He loves living in the Pacific Northwest and in his free can be found coaching and officiating soccer, attending Timbers games, hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, snow skiing and playing with his dog.

It was my first time seeing him but he was very kind and attentive and helpful. I was in for a sinus infection and my regular provider was not available. He answered all my questions.

I saw Dr Rigby, the first time in order to set him as my primary care Dr. He spent a lot of our time together updating old charts, not much on my needs, I understand this needs to be done especially when I'm a new Patient but as far as an exam goes, it didn't happen, I have another appointment in a week for pain management, we'll see how that goes, If not well, then I will be looking for a different health care provider.

Great experience with Dr Rigby. It was my first appointment. I was setting up a new family care Dr. Just moved to OR. He took time to understand my medical history and also took a genuine interest in me as a person. That's a rarity. It was refreshing to get that type of service/care.

Dr Rigby is a good provider. I've worked with a lot of PMG providers and don't see him treating it talking about/to staff like I've personally experienced in 10+ years of working in PMG.

I researched a number of physicians before I chose Dr. Rigby. I have been in to see him several times and find him friendly, personable, knowledgeable and most important to me honest. I trust him with my care and feel I can depend on him to have my best health interest at heart. He listens, asks questions and gives clear information. I highly recommend him.

It's a guessing game any more doctors can never figure out what's wrong. They spend to much time guessing and the patient gets stuck with a bill that you got no results from.

Only issue is that my provider could not determine what my problem was and did not make it a priority to seek another doctor's advice.

I never went to the doctor before. Always had fear and scared to go to the doctors. Ever since I met with Dr. Rigby I have been going regularly without any fear. He is a great doctor and makes me feel comfortable. I have gone more in the past year to a doctor then I did for over 10 years and that's because of him.

Beginning of visit I took a high blood pressure reading that I believed was wrong but my dr rudely refused to take another reading even though it was my first visit and I was nervous. He just said to be concerned about it which I believe since I had gone to dentist 3 wks earlier and had excellent reading was so wrong. it take 2 minutes to take another blood pressure reading instead he wanted me to worry about it unnecessarily - very rude. I expected better from the doctor.
