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 Ricca is an outstanding doctor. He is always kind, professional and very knowledgable . I was blessed to have him care for both of my parents when they needed expert care. And he has been my doctor for 18 years.

I made Dr. Ricca my primary since I turned 21 due to needing an adult doctor. Only seen him once due to a annual check-up. It may have been rushed but considering I have been in very good health my whole life there probably wasn't much for him to do other than the normal things during a physical. Only 4 stars because I've had seen him once and haven't had him for an actual illness yet.

I would never go back! This is a corporate guy, not a doctor. Wants to send you for all kinds of unnecessaary tests, like you've never seen any doctor before, or your previous doctor was an idiot. He doesn't listen to YOU, just does his corporate thing trying to rack up the dollars.
