I was hesitant to have Dr Rizzi as my PCP after reading numerous poor reviews on him. It turns out that the reviews are indeed correct. I found him to be very rude. Do not waste your time on this doctor.

I have been going to Dr Rizzi for over 20 yrs even before he was at CareMount . He listens and answers all question and shows he cares when speaking to you. NEVER RUSHES YOU OUT .

Dr. Rizzi is extremely smart and I have to give him credit for being an excellent doctor. However, I didn't like his cold,, sarcastic, personality. I changed doctors because of this.

Doctor Rizzi saved my father's life. He had intuitivily had him tested when he presented an adominal abnormality. It appeared to be a slight hernia. However Dr. Rizzi pressed for more tests that revealed colon cancer. The cancer was surgically removed and he is cancer free thanks to Dr. Rizzi. Dr. Rizzi trusts his instints and that results in superior outcomes for his patient's.

Just making an appointment or to reach out to the doctor is a mission. You can be waiting on the phone for over 45 minutes for someone to answer the phone. It is really frustrating. Dr. Rizzi is not the best. Vague answers on many questions. Sarcastic at times. I just didn’t have a good experiences.

After seeing dr Plesset for almost 30 years it was strange going to another internist. We are very pleased with Dr. rizzi. He is right on the money with his diagnoses. Very caring and has his patients genuine interest and well being at heart.

Dr. Rizzi is very nice. I did not feel rushed at all. He listened to me and when my insurance company refused to pay for a CAT scan I needed he facilitated them finally agreeing to pay for it .Very easy going and accessable
