    Since I meet Dr Rizzi for the first time it would be hard for me to recommend to others. But for me I feel i made the right decision.

    He read my lab results [omitted] after they had been completed and got back to me too late which caused an important procedure to be delayed. My potassium was low and had he gotten back to me when the results were completed- he could have prescribed the pills to me in time for me to have my stent procedure. Instead, I had to wait 5 days to have the procedure done. Causing me to reschedule every thing- boarding for my dog, rides to the hospital etc. Additionally, he wasted my cardiologists time having to reschedule an important procedure.

    I was unable to discuss the issues that mattered to me. Too prompt on pushing medicines instead of trying to figure out the cause of some of the issues. I miss the warmth and care of my previous GP who unfortunately retired.

    Dr. Rizzi has been my primary Doctor (and my wife’s primary) for over 20 years. He’s extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, always gives me great advice, and spends time talking to me to find out what’s going on in my life instead of rushing through my yearly physical. He spends time reviewing my medications, and has managed to keep me very healthy over the years. I’m extremely happy with him as my primary doctor.

    He is a smart doctor, but it appears when more of an explanation as needs about an issue, he may be short in his reply’s.
