Dr. Rizzo is hands down the best doctor I have ever been to. He’s a normal guy, down to earth, and as a patient I always feel relaxed and as though I get an appropriate amount of time with him. He answers every single question asked and takes time to explain everything. I don’t feel rushed one bit.

Great doctors! If you use the online option just know you don’t have an actual appointment time slot, they just do them at the end of the day in any order that’s deemed appropriate, just call and click 9 to talk to the doc if you need a time.

June 24, 2020Marie D.Verified patient
The guy is just a complete gentleman. He actually cares about his patients and does not treat it like a business, which has become the norm with most doctors. He spends plenty of time with each patient, and they follow up with you within a day or two each time. Everyone is really friendly in the office, and the place is spotless.
