What Our Patients Are Saying
Excellent doctor with good communication skills. He answered my questions, and he also made some very good suggestions. Traveled from Charleston SC, and it was worth the trip.
We could not have chosen a better orthopedic surgeon than Dr. Ricci. I had a severe traumatic injury to my ankle in June of 2017 and had emergency surgery which failed within about 7 months. My local surgeon had a plan which would fuse my ankle and require a large block of bone taken from my hip. We found Dr. Ricci and he provided an alternative surgical option which saved my foot and ankle without a fusion. Today I can walk far better than I thought and I continue to improve with each month. My husband and I are very thankful for the skill,expertise and the down to earth bed side manner Dr. Ricci gave to us.
I am now 5 months after shoulder and elbow surgery. I am almost completely "back to myself". I had a bad traumatic injury. I could not be more pleased with the care that I received by Dr. Ricci and his staff both before and after the surgery. I continue to be grateful that I was in the hands of such an outstanding surgeon as Dr. Ricci.
