Dr. Riccio is the best in every way. I’m so lucky to have found such a talented individual to help make my dreams come true!
Hands down the best surgeon I’ve ever worked with. He’s kind easy to talk to and really listens. You can tell he actually cares about your results and isn’t trying to sell you things you don’t need. He was honest about what made sense for me and even gave me advice on how to save money instead of pushing extras. He even gave me his personal cell and answered when I called addressing me by name which really says a lot. I haven’t seen my final results yet but so far it’s exactly what I asked for and I’m beyond happy. Five stars honestly isn’t enough.
Dr. Riccio is so easy to talk to. His personality and knowledge make the whole experience so very pleasant. I went in with my stepdaughter. We had totally different concerns; Dr. Riccio assessed our concerns with such expertise and and easy-to-understand approaches to our 'needs'. We each had a procedure done and walked out of there with a great plan to fully address our desires.
Outstanding Doctor who takes his time shows he cares
Great bedside manner.
Dr Riccio provided excellent care and was concerned with my comfort level during my procedure. He explained everything very well and took all the time needed during the consultation as well as the day of my procedure. You can tell his staff and team enjoy working with him and he is patient-centered. I’d definitely recommend the practice and Dr Riccio.
