Patient Reviews
Dec 20, 2020
Dr Rice is an excellent amd skilled surgeon and patient friendly doctor. Those two things don’t always go together. He performed minimally invasive segmentectomy of one of my lungs after being diagnosed with cancer. Dr Rice and his whole team were attentive, caring, and provided the best care one could expect throughout the entire process.
