Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Top notch Dr and staff
Needed my fmla forms filled out. Specialist was going to charge $350 just for the forms. Called my family doctor. They got me in the next day. His nurse and Dr Rice got them filled out during the visit and sent it to Sedgwick before I even left. Everything got approved. No extra charge to do the fmla.

Outstanding dr. Lost 135 lbs with his help. His nurses were always there cheering me on even when I wanted to give up. I am now off the majority of my medicines. Feel like a new person. You won't find anyone more caring than him. He spends time with you, gives you options and lets you choose. He and his staff go above and beyond to help you.

He thinks he is God. Dismissed me from his practice because I DARED to question his recommendations and he pretty much shut me down. He doesn’t want patients to work with him, he wants them to do exactly what he says, no question. If you want a doctor who lays down the line and tells you exactly what you should do, he’s good. If you want a partner in health care, go somewhere else. I used to think his staff was full of really rude angry people. I now understand why. His staff is actually pretty understanding given what he acts like.
