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.

Dr. Rico always gets me right in. I have never had a problem with him referring me to specialists should i need one.

Too bad I have to leave a star, but a 2.9 rating should speak for itself. Too bad I didn't see the review from the PTSD patient. I have disabling anxiety and feel like I am being treated differently; like I'm stupid and "crazy". I no longer feel safe using Dr. Rico as my family Dr. I called for an appointment due to cold and med refills. When I got there I was informed I was only being seen for the cold. I told the nurse I was almost out of meds, but that didn't matter. I was denied a thyroid med, and I guess breathing is overrated because the other was my inhaler for COPD/adult asthma. No tests or labs were ordered from my prior appointment and these were meds he prescribed in the past. So, why not today, I was in his offices anyway. Is it a Hypocratic or hippocrits oath. To deny a patient their meds doesnt bode well for Do No Harm

Couple of experiences, Dr Rico is my mom doctor for many yrs, I brought my daughter in, for her problem w/ Scoliosis and me, little trust issue, aka back surgery. Dr Rico found us a right surgeon for her, and the right meds for antidepressants for the both of us. Thank you for caring my mom for many yrs, my daughter 2 yrs and myself
