Dr. Tace Rico, MD

We took both our first 2 children to see Dr. Rico in the past 5 years and have been back for follow up visits as well. We felt that we were provided outstanding care and we are soon going to see the doctor again for our third child. We would highly recommend Dr. Rico for her knowledge and care. We feel fortunate to have such a great doctor nearby to care for our children's needs.

Your child care takes a back seat! Similar to the experiences of other who reviewed this doctor previously, we had the worst experience EVEN after following all the suggestions including an extensive (and very expensive) laser therapy that lasted more than 6 months. With the exception of the first visit when Dr. Tace Raco briefly met with us and our son for less than 10 minutes, the entire care period was delegated to a team of laser techs and office staff who are extremely rude and lack basic decency. After this extensive and expensive laser treatment with no result to show for it except the pain of putting our 9 year old through it, I informed the laser tech and office staff that we plan to discontinue the laser treatment and requested to meet with the doctor to reassess the care plan only to be met with delay and cancelations by the doctor (..due to unforeseen circumstances). Bottom line, find another doctor and save yourself and your kids the hassle of dealing with this practice.

The facility is beautiful but the experience was not. Dr Rico ran her thumb over my sons hemangioma once and was not able to give any specifics or options other than pushing for expensive laser treatment. As soon as I told her I couldn’t afford $3000 laser treatment she disappeared. Then I got charged $500 for the office visit. How disgraceful. My son is 7 months old with a mark the size of a dime on his forehead. I am very disappointed that my pediatrician recommended her for a “consultation” waste of money and time.

Overpriced. She is friendly but charges $500 for a new patient visit. In network but insurance covered less than 30% so the rest was out of pocket. She came in for 10 minutes confirmed eczema and pushed for the most expensive medication, it was rejected by BCBS so I had to call back 3 months later to request a different medication be put through because we still didn't have anything as a result of our visit. Would not recommend this office and have lost trust in my children's doctor as a result for this recommendation.

This was our second dermatologist opinion since the previous specialist was a waste of money. Dr. Rico has excellent bed side manners and provides a thrilled explanation of her health plan. She had the answers to all my questions since my son has been battleing eczema since birth. I have tried almost everything from meds to natural herbs and it doesn’t control it. She gave us a different routine to follow and it has been a week of 0 flares. So happy with the results and his skin looks amazing.

Outstanding personality. Open, Sweet, genuine. Best place to take your kids. Scheduling about a month out. Recommended by derm professionals as best personality and best with children. They were right.
