I am a new patient of Dr. Rice's who came to him following some very traumatic oral surgery. I was immediately impressed by Dr. Rice's good nature and relaxed ways. I had brought my records with me from my surgery and Dr. Rice was thorough in his review of my problems. He immediately put me at ease and, instead of this being the stress-filled visit I had dreaded, I actually look forward to returning to complete the work we began. I feel like a partner in my care and not just a passive recipient and this is very important to me. What really impressed me is that he did my cleaning himself. Would I recommend Dr. Rice for "cowards" (translated: people who have had traumatic experiences in a dental office) such as myself? In a heartbeat! This was probably one of the most pleasant doctor visits I've ever had. Thanks, Dr. Rice!
