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.

Doctor Rifino really listens that is what I like best about her. Excellent doctor !

From the time I call for an appointment to the time I leave I am confident I am being well cared for. Dr Rifino is an exceptional doctor.

Knowlegeable, common sense primary care doctor
Dr. Rifino has been my primary care doctor for many years. She has a way of getting through all the clutter and addressing the problem in a sensible manner. She does not see just lab results and the information in the chart, she sees the patient. She treats the total patient.

Dr. Rifino is the best!
I have trusted Dr. Rifino with my care for Appx 25 years and would never change because she takes great care of me. She always checks recent tests before each visit. She is patient, very caring and I find her to be very thorough. She has no problem sending me for a referral if I need one. The staff is friendly and efficient. I have not had to wait at all when I pre-register before the appointment. Once in a patient room, the wait is short. I highly recommend Dr.Rifino and the practice for anyone searching for a doctor for their care.

Superior care
Dr Rifino is a caring and extremely competent professional. She always answers questions and follows thru with any concerns. After I moved to the beach from MD, I travel from Lewes DE just to keep her as my doc. She is a 12 on a scale from 1-10!

Personable and Professional
Dr. Rifino has helped keep me healthy for over 20 years. She's monitored and treated my (wide variety of) health issues through my late middle age into my mid- senior years. No small feat. Easy to work with; firm yet compassionate; good staff, too.

Thorough
Dr. Rifino has been my primary care physician for more than 20 years. She is knowledgeable and very thorough which is why I’ve kept her as my PCP. Currently I travel roughly 100 miles round trip to see her when a visit is necessary. Knowing I’m going to get excellent care makes the trip worthwhile. I would strongly recommend her.

Best care
I am in Florida but live in Maryland. I've been having terrible pain with my neck for a month. Went to an orthopedic practice here but only gave me a muscle relaxant which did not help. I called Dr. Rifino, my physician in Md. She did a virtual call & prescribed an MRI & a prescription. I feel so much better today. Should have called her in the first place. She is a kind, caring physician who really cares about her patients. Also everyone at her practice is nice.
