Dr. Anthony Joseph Rizzo, DO

The office couldn't even confirm appt. When I finally got paperwork it was question after question on mental health. This was my first visit so I didn't expect much. I was early so I sat in my car and someone came out to "swab" me (pandemic is over) then told me I had to call office so they could "unlock" door to let me in. When I got in, I gave my id and insurance card and receptionist said she emailed me with more questions - all questions were about mental illness!! So I went to desk and asked if he was a doctor or psychologist. She said he was a doctor and that questions were required by insurance. I then told her that this was not a good fit so I left without seeing doctor. All I wanted to do was address my medical problems not my mental state. When I got home I called insurance company to see if those questions were required - she said absolutely not - the receptionist lied!! they have an agenda of some sort!!

There a lady at the from dest named petty, she is a very bad person, and saw her treating bad almost every patients that happened to me too and after i was a patient for about 7 years now i have to Leave dr. Rizzo.

I had a very good experience at Dr. Rizzo's office. His staff is great as well.

Been going to the st James office where he took over for dr. Emrick Milligan, was seeing he pa for all most a year , then figured I should meet "my" , didn't even introduced him self , made me feel so uncomfortable! I was treated for a back injury, and been getting my prescription there for 12 years . He was telling me that I was new to office and he wasn't going to fill them , I explained that dr Milligan was my dr sine I was a teenager. He was very nasty and judgmental, with out even know me or my health conditions. He referred me to pain management, witch I was fine with doing , I was unable to make that appointment, so I made another one , went back to him to get my meds . He again was very judgmental, I explained to him the reason I did get to pain management is because of the loss of my grandmother, but that I rescheduled it , I went on to tell him that I was getting pins and needles in my left arm , he moved my head up and down and side to side , and then he pushed his fingers… on a spot between. My neck and shoulder, hurt me , he said it's a mussel spazam , I ask what should be done? He said " get a massage. I didn't even know how to respond to that , like I have money for that. He then told me to have a good day . I said dr you didn't give me my script , he said that I was to soon for it to be filled , I said no it well over the 30days he was insisting it was less , I said you must be mistaken dr . He finally gave me my script and told me that this was the last one ! But the first visit with him he said he would like me to come closer to 2 months apart . I don't know about him . He claimed that he has no records on me . I said you took over the practice don't you have my records? He said no I don't , maybe he will fined them look at them and treat me the way I deserve to be treated! I will see how next vist goes

JUST TERRIBLE!!!

I called that morning - got the appt and had an Rx by noon to address my ailment. Couldn't have been happier with NP who treated me.

Kind, Caring, Concerned...

Good Dr. Good bedside manner. Waiting time in waiting room is RIDICULOUS

The most memorable and kindest act I know of was done by this doctor. My mom was ill. My Dad was not doing well and my husband had just had cancer surgery. I was Dr R's patient. My hubby was not doing well and I was beyond frantic. He called upon him in the hospital. He checked him out and chatted with him I got a phone call that evening from Dr R. I had been crying most of the day. His call was a blessing he let me know my husband would be fine and what could and would be done to help. I slept for the first time in a week. We were never charged. Today my whole family is with this practice. Good medicine coupled with some humor reality and tlc. Want a family doctor? This is the definition.

Easy to talk to. Accurate diagnosis. Great bedside manner. Took his time with the appointment. Would highly recommend this doctor. However, his staff needs to be more personable.
