Rice James a MD

Dr. Rice is an outstanding doctor. I transferred to him from another dr in town and couldn't understand why I felt so terrible. He started working with me on my diet. Lost 135 lbs now off the majority of my medicines. Couldn't have done it without him and his nurses Gena and Lisa being my cheerleaders. I'm a new person. You won't find anyone more caring and wanting to get you better instead of putting you on medicine after medicine. I love the fact that he spends time with you and listens. Gives you options and lets you decide.

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!

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

Contrary to what the lady below said Dr. Rice is far from a pill pusher. He does everything he can to encourage you to get in good health and help you get off your medicine. He has worked with me on losing weight and now I'm off my b;p meds and now working on my sugars. I couldn't have done it without him. I have friends who go to him and he has helped them so much in getting healthy and getting off unnecessary meds that were prescribed by the other doctors in town that were making me sick. He is a wonderful guy who cares about his patients and takes time to explain things to you. He gives you options and lets you help decide which is best direction to take. He keeps up to date on on the latest medical advances and listened to what I read up on. You won't find anyone better Gena and Lisa are always there to help you and encourage you. Can't ask for more caring nurses.

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.
