    How was your appointment with Dr. Rice?

    Feb 21, 2018
    I had surgery on every part of my sinuses with Dr. Rice. It was successful and changed my life! No more chronic sinusitis and infections. He and his staff were responsive and professional. Even though I was referred to him for surgery by another ENT, Dr. Rice tried one last treatment to see if surgery was avoidable. I respected that I was not automatically rushed into surgery. I have recommended Dr. Rice to friends who had successful surgeries too.
