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.

Compassion, Experience, Premier Care
Treatment from Dr. Rice has rewarded me the finest care that I have ever received from a physician. It is clear from the experience and knowledge that he brings to every encounter, as well as cutting-edge recommendations of the latest treatments, that his top priority is the care of his patients. He takes extensive time to provide the best, personalized care for his patients and goes above and beyond to only refer to specialists who are the best in their field, when necessary. I have been lucky enough to be under Dr. Rice’s care for over ten years and cannot express the absolute appreciation that I feel for the care that he has provided to me and multiple members of my family. If you are in need of cardiovascular care - plus, there is no one better than Dr. Kenneth Rice.

Unsupportive staff
Telehealth
I have to mirror the review listing the lack of professionalism by Dr. Rice's admin staff. Never have my attempts to reach a caregiver been thwarted so callously as has Dr. Rice's staff. My attempts just to get results from EEG, EKG and ultrasound tests have left me with unreturned promises of calls back. The best dr in the world is useless to me if I cannot reach him for even the most simple answers to questions I'm entitled to.

be ware of his office staff
Dr. Rice is an excellent cardiologist. He is knowledgable and communicates quite efficiently. His office staff, not nursing staff, leaves much to be desired. They do not answer the phone and when they promise to get back to you, they never do!!

Understood my issues. Performed the tests required and the diagnosis given on the same day with medication and a call back in 2 weeks. I am confident.. he and his staff are on top of the issues.
