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.

Cleft Palate 2006
What a blessing is Dr. Pat Ricalde! Isabelle’s cleft palate was corrected in 2006 at the age of 9 months and never never surgery again. Pierre Robin sequence was corrected by the therapy with consistency that she taught me to do. Isabelle is now 18 and has a beautiful jaw line! Isa is a Youth Worship Leader at our Local Church Jesus Worship Center in Miami! Thank you for your amazing love and patience during that season. God bless you Dr. Ricalde!

Dr. Ricalde helped my daughter with her recessed chin and did a fantastic job. Dr. Ricalde and her entire team from the office to the surgery center were absolutely fantastic. My daughter feels so much better all the way around. Thank you Dr. Ricalde and all involved.

Amazing doctor, professional but compassionate - spent time with us explaining our son's craniosynastosis and performed the surgery. She's very knowledgeable. We have follow up appointments every year.
