Dr. Rizzo is by far the most personable dr. I’ve encountered. He did an excellent job on my complicated wrist surgery, but more then that is is so compassionate. Every time he sees you, he makes you feel like an old friend he’s excited to see. I would recommend Dr. Rizzo to anyone, and I will call him for any future surgeries! Thanks Dr. Rizzo I am thankful to have met you!

Forever grateful for the fantastic surgical work of Dr. Rizzo on my wrist. My injury was misdiagnosed as a "sprain" by medical facility in our city. After 4 weeks of increased pain, discoloration and less wrist movement, went for second x-ray. Results showed a now full break split requiring surgery. Went for second opinion to Rochester Mayo, referred to Dr. Rizzo. Amazing man, spends high quality time in his consultation and explanation of surgery. Surgery required removing four weeks of misaligned growth, re- break wrist and set with plate and screws. I have full range of motion, equal hand strength and complete pronation, supination of wrist. I highly recommend Dr. Rizzo!

Dr. Marco Rizzo was one of the nicest Doctor's I have seen over my lifetime. He has compassion and cares so much for his patient and the outcome. Am going to have him fix my cyst it has been bothering me for 34 years I am getting tired of it. I do not know any other physician that cares as much as Marco. It was my pleasure to of found a Doctor who cares as much as he does. Thank you for all your help. Jim Johnson

Dr. Rizzo is one of the kindest and gentle physicians that I have ever experienced in my 70 years. These attributes are only surpassed by his surgical skills. He would be highly recomnended by me.

This physican was reffered to me by a local docter whom had not done a quality job of fixing my broken humerus. Dr. Rizzo was patient and careful. He redid my surgery and it was sucessful beyond my expectations. I recommed him to everyone. He is not only in the top quartile of doctors he may be number one.
