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.

Dangerous to be so conceited!!
Without even seeing the patient, she claimed the side effects had nothing to do with the medication because the medication does not produce those side effects. When told those were the side effects indicated on the prescription, she insisted they can’t be. So, either the medicine maker is a liar or she is conceited. She also claimed the patient must have gotten something else but never the medicine would have caused the 103.9 fever, massive head ache and nausea. I had to call an ambulance and it turned out it was the medicine.She NEVER returned my call and this is why I now write this review to warn other parents. Sad Doctor, you deal with humans not things. Never going back.

ABC Pediatrics - Dr. Maria Rizo and Staff
I have been going to ABC Pediatrics since my almost 8 year old preemie was born. Dr. Rizo and Staff were amazing in treating all 3 of my children ( 8,6 and 4) for whatever issue presented with. I will continue to use them and highly recommend to all as her expertise in this field is amazing.

Very long wait times. Minimal time spent with patients and very broad answers.
