James A. Rice's Online Review Report Card

Dr Rice takes a lot of time with you. He listens and gives you options to help decide what course you want to take. First doctor around here to listen to me instead of throw a bunch of meds at me and walk out the door

Dr. Rice and his nursing staff take time with his patients as well as answers all questions. He is a great Dr.

Have been going to Dr Rice for couple years, he’s a great doctor and actually listens to his patients, and explains what is wrong in detail. Rest of the staff is great as well and extremely helpful.

Outstanding dr. He and his wife Lisa who is an RN and helps him go above and beyond. Lisa never gave up trying to get the insurance to fight for my medicines The insurance finally said yes. I can’t thank them enough for not just saying they weren’t covered like my other doctors office did. Dr Rice is awesome and spends a lot of time with you and let’s you participate in your care. He gives you options and let’s up you decide how you want to proceed Highly recommended this great team

Actually can talk to a real person when you call!! Quick to answer and get you in. Very thorough. Gives you options and listens to you. Been going to him for years.

Great Doctor and a couple of the sweetest nurses I have ever came across. Gina and his wife Lisa. Great ladies!!!!

Outstanding dr. Lost 135 lbs with his help. His nurses were always there cheering me on even when I wanted to give up. I am now off the majority of my medicines. Feel like a new person. You won't find anyone more caring than him. He spends time with you, gives you options and lets you choose. He and his staff go above and beyond to help you.

Dr. Rice is patient and compassionate. He will listen to your concerns and answer all of your questions. Equally as I’m pressed with his office staff. I love that you get a person and not a machine. I have never waited longer than 5-10 minutes for my scheduled appointment. My family loves Dr. Rice!

A good majority must have never questioned or undermined this man. If you have (like if you disagree with a treatment plan) then you would NOT be giving him 5 stars. He has a God complex (thinks he’s god) and doesn’t like it if you go to seek a second opinion. He doesn’t like it if you want alternatives to treatment plans. He will get mad, throw a 5 year old hissy fit and refuse to treat you. He is pill happy and thinks all treatment should come in the form of pills (this by the sheer volume of drug reps that come in and out of there DAILY; I’ve never been there when a drug rep is also there; I have to wonder if they’re the only people he’s professional with). He will also get mad if you say you’re having a reaction to a drug and tell you adverse reactions are impossible and that taking medication is like eating broccoli. So I guess broccoli is the 4th leading cause of death (drug reactions are the 4th leading cause of death). He dismissed me from the practice because I refused to do “exactly what he told me to do when he told me to do it.” HIS EXACT WORDS. He refused to treat my children because “I” wouldn’t do exactly what he wanted me to when he wanted me to do it (as in he wouldn’t treat my kids because I wouldn’t take my medication or would disagree with his opinion for myself, not because I was non-compliant for my kids, that never happened). He is an insecure, arrogant, angry man. If you like a doctor that you can just get your ‘script and be on your way then I guess he’s your guy. If you want to be an active participant in your (or your children’s health care), then run, RUN LIKE HELL. His insecurity will likely be a source of morbidity or mortality and just hope it’s not you.

He thinks he is God. Dismissed me from his practice because I DARED to question his recommendations and he pretty much shut me down. He doesn’t want patients to work with him, he wants them to do exactly what he says, no question. If you want a doctor who lays down the line and tells you exactly what you should do, he’s good. If you want a partner in health care, go somewhere else. I used to think his staff was full of really rude angry people. I now understand why. His staff is actually pretty understanding given what he acts like.
