Dr. Richard James Ricca, MD

I had a laproscopic inguinal hernia repair with mesh by Dr. Ricca. Less than 8 months later my hernia was back so I saw Dr Ricca again. At first Dr Ricca was confused that he repaired the other side and this was a new hernia, I assured him that it was the same one. I waited 10 minutes while he went to find his report to confirm that I was correct. He then told me he would “repair the mesh”. The next day I asked for a copy of the operation report and the office re-diagnosis report. For the office re-diagnosis report I had to drive to Southampton and pay $3. The operation report stated that a piece of mesh was implanted that was possibly 4 times the size of what he originally showed me prior to the operation. The re-diagnosis report said that he told me he would implant additional mesh which he never told me, and that he had advised me of the potential for chronic pain also which he never advised me. Obviously I found someone else to fix it.

I have just recently returned home from surgery and hospital stay under the care of Dr Richard Ricca. His care, concern, utmost professionalism throughout my stay was invaluable. I am alive today because of Dr Ricca. ( Dr Ricca had operated on my husband about 17 yrs ago and was pleased thenqs well) I am fortunate that he was on call to perform the surgery! Thank you Dr. Ricca!

the worst. he nicked an artery that " was not supposed to be there" causing a much longer stay in the hospital. he used foul language on the phone. his bedside manor which I witnessed is deplorable. I wouldn't let an animal go to this guy.

Dr. Ricca operated on me for colon cancer and did an excellent job. No complications.

met during emergency did what was right for me no complications compassionate and knowledgeable would recommend in a heart beat to all

Breast cancer patient, could not have been more pleased with Dr. Ricca. Took the time to explain ALL options to me in detail, was caring and considerate. Had mastectomy surgery with reconstruction, would not think twice about having him as my surgeon for anything else that may come along !
