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.

Could be better
I was recommended to go to Dr. Ricci for hemorrhoid surgery. I go to doctors rather seldom, and in his office my blood pressure, which is usually normal, went to 170/90. The nurse told me that after the consultation, he would be able to check my BP again. But Dr. Ricci refused my request to take my BP again. He told me to go to my regular doctor. Maybe he is a good surgeon, but first of all a doctor should act like a human being.

Dr. Ricci is one of the best doctors. He saved me from a debilitating chronic illness by performing multiple surgeries on me. He is kind and very confident in his work. He gave me my life back and could not describe how grateful I am to have him as my doctor. 100% recommend.

Had a horrible experience with Dr. Ricci. I initially came in for a consultation, which ended up in a procedure that I did not authorize or know that will be performed on me that day. I came out of the office throwing up and fainting. Later received an outrageous bill for this procedure that I didn’t authorize and did not even work. I wasn’t told about anything prior to the procedure.

This doctor isn't worth the money he charges. His level of expertise in bio-identical hormone replacement as well as thyroid and adrenal issues is limited at best. He likes expensive tests and then relies on the suggestions of the providers of those tests. When those suggestions don't work, he has no place to go. Don't waste your money or time. The problem is many MDs have joined the bio-identical bandwagon and they don't have the skill or expertise to be of any help. Beware.
