So personable, yet professional. I felt very comfortable expressing my concerns. No crazy wait time either. I will be visiting her again :-)
I’m really disappointed with my appointment with Dr. Rice. After waiting for over an hour and asking for a full body check, all she looked at (for 5 seconds) were my legs. She kept trying to sell me expensive creams and procedures (laser) and I could tell she was in a rush because she didn’t even check the rest of my body. I had questions I still wanted to ask but she was already standing up and opening the door. It’s really disheartening to wait a month+ for this appointment to have it go that way. I’m very disappointed. Also, my appointment was at 10:40 and I wasn’t seen until 11:40. These long wait times caused the waiting room to be crowded and in COVID times that’s not ideal. She apologized for the wait and at first I was going to dismiss it until my appointment went horrible. It was the fastest appointment ever for the long wait times. Also, if the Dr. is going to recommend laser, maybe she should ask me if I’ve ever gotten it done (I have). Instead of it being a conversation, it was a speedy appointment. She should make all her patients feel valued instead of rushed. I'm not returning.
She was fabulous!! I didn’t feel rushed and felt she truly addressed my concerns and gave me options. I just found my dermatologist and I’ve already referred her!
Verified patient
Dr. Rice was extremely nice! She listened to all of my concerns about my skin and I know she's going to help me get my skin as clear as possible.
Verified patient
My visit was a bit of a mixed bag. The address appeared wrong on Zocdoc which led me to the wrong side of the city. Dr. rice's google info is listed with Emory which is also not accurate. It was just a really tough drive to get to the right facility. Overall her staff was friendly and was able to address all my questions. Dr. Rice was patient and listened to my concerns. I had been looking forward to this visit for a long time.
