Trish Rigling
Trish Rigling, an amazing Clinical Technician, was born and raised in beautiful Lassen County, CA. After her graduation from High School, she started her Medical Career, as a Medical Assistant at Redondo Beach Medical Clinic, in Redondo Beach, CA. It was a perfect fit, as Trish had a love of people, learning and medicine. After her return to Lassen County, Trish worked in the Dental Field for fifteen years. Once her Children were out of school, Trish once again followed her love of learning and medicine, as she returned to school at Lassen Community College, where she received her Associate of Science, and Licensed Vocational Nursing Degrees. Trish loves working with Patients in all capacities.
In her spare time, Trish enjoys her wonderful Husband, their three wonderful Children, and their beautiful families. Together, they enjoy the outdoors, camping, boating, and watching the grandkids sports. Trish relishes being able to be a part of their everyday lives. Dr Troy calls Trish "the mother of Susanville" and she is an amazing part of the practice!
