racist and arrogant I would never recommend this lady ... if you want your children to be treated as black in the 50s then called to make an appointment

I've been taking my three sons to Dr. R for over a year, the waiting time at the office is more than what I would like, but when she's with you, she take her time and listen to you, the office staff is very nice, they always apologize when the Dr, is running late and try to accomodate my needs. Overall I am happy, no bad experiences...so far.

My daughters have been going to Dr. Rizo for about a year now. Her office staff is super nice and very helpful. Dr. Rizo is always running behind but usually spends a decent amount of time with me and my children and answers any questions that I might have. I have been satisfied with my experiences.
