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 Rizzo is by far the best Dr I’ve ever had in my entire life! You can tell that he genuinely cares about his patients. He listens to all of your concerns, thinks outside the box and easily explains things to educate you about your health. You can usually expect a long wait at the office but once you see him he will spend as much time with you as needed. The saying is Good things come to those who wait. You want quality care and that’s what you will receive from Dr Rizzo!

I have been seeing dr. Rizzo for just over a year now after my primary care physician of 20+ years retired and an awful corporation took over his practice. Dr. Rizzo has been a wonderful, caring, Dr. who LISTENS to patient. My son has now transferred to this practice and although a VERY BUSY OFFICE, he (Dr. Rizzo) is worth the wait!

Dr Rizzo was my primary care doctor for 2 years and just recently relocated from Port Charlotte to Sarasota, so I had to change primary care doctors. I was 100% thrilled with him as my primary care and the next doctor will have a difficult time measuring up to his level of compassion, understanding, and attention to detail; not to mention, remembering me and actually taking time to get to know me. Thank you Dr. Rizzo. You will be a hard act to follow!

He's an awesome doctor! He's funny at times, but he gets serious when needed. He was in complete shock when I told him my mom died in April. He's increased my depression medicine as showed empathy. He's been spot on with my testing results. I would recommend him to any adult looking for a new primary doctor.
