I’ve seen Dr Rice for over 30 years and he’s always kind, caring, respectful. I see too many doctors and Dr. Rice could teach other doctors how to be empathetic and kind. He has done well in his career.

I would love to be able to write a glowing review but I can never get in to see Dr. Rice, he's always booked up 3 months out and the calendar doesn't go past the 3 months. So they tell me to call back in a few weeks and guess what?!?! He's booked up again and they don't have the calendar available yet! Dr. Rice is a nice person but I sometimes feel like he's more concerned with what he thinks I should be feeling/going through than the actual list of questions I have for him.

Dr. Rice is a very good doctor. He takes the time to talk to you about you concerns. He is very patient and has good bedside manner. Dr. Rice took the time to find out my medical disorder and started treatment right away. He is generously concerned about his patients. I would recommended Dr. Rice to anymore.

i took my dad to dr rice for many years for parkinsons and eventually lewy-body dementia. he is the most patient doctor ive ever seen. sat and listened to all of my dad's lists of questions, even if they didnt make sense or were redundant, and answered them in such a caring way. if you want a doc who really listens and guides you to the best treatment, i cant recommend dr. rice highly enough.
