Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Rizzo is one of the nicest, and also one of the best surgeons I’ve ever been a patient of (sadly, as a breast cancer patient, I’ve had several). I believe his knowledge, clear explanations, and forthright honesty may have saved my life. I have happily recommended him to friends and family. He is caring and compassionate as well as thorough and honest. He is also well respected by quite a few specialists I’ve met all over AZ.

Dr Rizzo was thorough and got me scheduled for a colonoscopy right away; the hospital staff was awesome. Least annoying colonoscopy I have ever had done. After visit was professional and easy to understand. Good doctor.

Don't expect the office staff to be as nice as Dr. Rizzo!! Just as with most of the office staff at providers offices in Lake Havasu the girl's in the office are short with patients and rude when they speak to them. I know the Doctor know this to be a problem and they just don't really care.

Dr. Rizzo is one of the nicest physicians I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. It is such a comfort knowing that he truly cares about me as a person and I'm not just another patient to him. He is a very thoughtful and thorough man. He has never rushed me through an appointment. When he is finishes talking with me I understand my options completely and believe he has my best interest at heart. I would highly recommend Dr. Rizzo to anyone!

Had Dr Rizzo for my family Dr in MI. He was the best! Easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. I moved and he moved and lost touch. Glad to see he is still practicing. S. Fannin
