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. Rinaldi provides extraordinary care for her patients, she goes above and beyond the call of duty. She is genuinely concerned about her patients. She is kind, empathetic, and has an unwavering dedication to her patients. She has operated of me numerous times with always the best results. She has been my beacon of light in the darkest of moments, and her compassion knows no bounds. I am deeply grateful for the profound impact she has had on my life and health care.

I saw Dr Rinaldi for my last pregnancy and she was so professional yet compassionate. She was incredible when I gave birth very sudden 15 weeks early. She took care and spent the time needed with me even though 7 other woman were giving birth the same night and she looked exhausted. I truly believe my sons success in the nicu could be very much contributed to the fact she took such care for him in the birthing process. Thank you so much.

I have been seeing Dr. Rinaldi for 20 years. She was so calm and collected during a difficult C-section with my daughter. We have gone through several stages in our lives and I am so happy that I have her on my side. I hope she continues forever!!

Most professional doctor I've ever met with exceptional people skills. She is the only Dr I trust to perform a caserean with amazing results. Sr Rinaldi is an asset to our city and feel honored to have her perform two surgeries on me.
