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.

Excellent experience for my son
Took my son to see Dr. Rizio because of his knee pain due to overuse with sports. Dr. Rizio took the time during our appointment to explain everything and was very honest in the approach he felt we should take. We did just what was suggested and he his knee pain almost complexly subsided. Office and front desk staff were also wonderful!

My appointment was for a second opinion, which Dr. Rizio acknowledged and respected. I felt very comfortable during my appointment despite it being for a second opinion.

Exceptional Orthopedist
Dr. Rizio is an exceptional doctor. My 15 year old daughter tore her ACL playing field hockey and we chose Dr. Rizio to perform the surgery based on his knowledge, treatment plan, and his kind and compassionate bedside manner. He is a meticulous orthopedic surgeon and thoroughly explained every step of the surgery. My daughter’s recovery was seamless and she transitioned back to playing field hockey within the year with zero pain or discomfort. I highly recommend Dr. Rizio!
