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.

On more than one occasion Doctor Rizo started screaming at me. For what? I didn’t do anything. How is this supposed to help me? I had regular visits with this Doctor for quite some time. After awhile this Doctor thought that I was getting better. This Doctor then took me off of my medication. My condition improved. You go to a Doctor to get better. After some time my condition worsened and I was placed back on the medication. I no longer see this Doctor. It’s been years. As of now I’m still not cured. I am still on medication and I haven’t been taken off of it. At times my condition has worsened. Throughout the years I also developed other conditions.

After several wasted efforts with various counselors and a psychiatirst who was more interested in her own hobbies (and treated her work like a hobby), we found Dr. Rizzo. Took about a year, but she helped us get on a path and got me to focus on what I wanted out of life. Wife was less interested but Dr. Rizzo helped me figure out how to work with her where she was. Now I am very satisfied with my life and my marriage; wife is much more open and emotionally intimate.
