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.

Not the best experience
This is an old review because I haven’t seen Dr. Rice in years. However I found her to be distant, noncommunicative, and uninterested in my well being as a cancer survivor. She did not explain procedures well and did not provide test results in a timely manner. Fortunately I found a new oncologist who is just the opposite of Dr. Rice.

She took excellent care of my father, was compassionate to him and the family, and even went over and beyond by calling his estranged daughter to make sure she had a last chance to see her father. She made him feel like his was the only patient and treated him on an individual basis; unlike a previous doctor he had that treated everyone the same. Bless you for all you did for my Dad.

Dr. Rice treated my husband who passed away this week from kidney cancer. She was caring, compassionate, and a good listener. She went out of her way to stay in contact, explain procedures and test results.
