2 out of 5 stars

Mentions of severe health concerns (melanomas, skin carcinomas, endometrial cancer) with very little follow-up, and conditions that are deemed uncommon in a healthy 21 year old. Communication was poor, and I left the appointment more confused than I was before.

FARMINGTON HEALTH CENTER

4 out of 5 stars

Dr Rizk was able to refer me to another doctor who would be better suited to address my needs which I appreciated. She was incredibly kind and patient, and has excellent follow up after my appointment even though I would be going with another doctor.
