Patient Reviews
Jan 12, 2017
Dr Ricks saw both of my parents for years. He was caring, attentive, and knowledgeable. On one occasion, when my elderly father had been hospitalized for a long time due to a number of complications, Dr Ricks' nurse called his house one morning after he had been dischatged, and said that Dr Ricks would like to come to the house to check how he was doing. I was absolutely stunned! I didn't think that any doctors made house calls any more! Highly recommend him!
