Patients appreciate
Dr. James Rizkalla consistently receives exceptional praise for his outstanding bedside manner, communication skills, and genuine care for patients. Reviewers repeatedly emphasize that he takes time to listen carefully to their concerns without rushing appointments, making patients feel like they are his only priority. His ability to explain complex medical information in clear, understandable terms is highly valued, with many patients noting how he uses visual aids like MRI and x-ray images to help them comprehend their conditions. Patients describe him as personable, friendly, compassionate, and professional, with many stating he is one of the best doctors they have encountered. His thoroughness in examinations, willingness to explore conservative treatment options before surgery, and attentiveness to patient needs are frequently highlighted. The staff supporting Dr. Rizkalla also receives consistent praise for being professional, kind, and helpful.
Patients also share
The reviews contain very few criticisms of Dr. Rizkalla's care. One patient expressed frustration about needing to schedule a separate appointment to see the doctor when they felt he could have been called into the examination room during their initial visit to a shared office space, particularly since they traveled 60 miles for the appointment. This represents the only substantive complaint about care coordination or efficiency in the extensive collection of reviews. No other significant patterns of concern or areas for improvement were identified across the hundreds of patient reviews.
