Verified patient
The doctor forgot to send my prescription to the pharmacy, and his office did not help us reach him in a timely manner. After a 5 minute consultation, you think the doctor could at least send in my prescription! Really disappointed, especially with the inability of his staff to fix the error quickly.

Excellent visit! The doctor and his staff were friendly and thorough, and addressed my concern with thoughtfulness. I had to get an injection and the doctor and his nurse were caring and calming throughout the procedure. Front desk was friendly and efficient, and COVID protocols were apparent throughout the office. I look forward to my next visit with Dr. Rizzo.

Had an 8am appointment. Went 15 min early for paperwork, only had to fill out one form and was in the office with Dr. Rizzo at 7:50. my appointment was done by 8:05 - Super efficient and a great appointment
Verified patient
Very NIce Dr! Will See again.
Wonderful experience. I went for a general skin check (my first in 5 years) and a few general skin questions. The office is run efficiently and everyone was very pleasant from reception through nursing staff. Dr. Rizzo listened to my concerns and responded to each one. I have been looking for a dermatologist for general medical needs and would accept my Medicare plus Supplemental insurance. So glad that my friend recommended him. Also the local pharmacy that he sent my Rx to had the medication I needed and was able to give it to me after only a 5 minute wait, which I appreciated since I don't live in the neighborhood.

Quick and efficient!
Dr. Russo was able to quickly identify the skin condition I have and give consultation. He was knowledgeable and approachable. Though my wait was long, I am glad I was able to see him.
I went to Dr. Rizzo because of a medical concern. In the past, I had gone to a few dermatologists who were more about appearance than medicine. Dr. Rizzo is a DOCTOR. I really appreciated how he fully explained what I needed to know and answered all my questions. This is a good doctor.
Verified patient
It was my first time to the practice - I went for a regular screening and had a few questions. He was thorough with the screening, answering all of my questions, but also didn't take too long which I appreciated. Very nice doctor and staff.
