Patient Rating
Patients describe the provider as kind, compassionate, and patient, with a calming bedside manner that helps ease anxiety. Reviewers repeatedly praise clear explanations, careful listening, thorough exams, and supportive, non‑pressuring shared decision-making. Multiple comments also note reliable follow-up and respectful communication that builds trust in routine and prenatal care.

Five stars. She really listens and responds with care.
Dr. Rizk is a compassionate intelligent physician. I have been going to her for years and I hope she never leaves the clinic. She is the best!!!
Abigail is thorough, knowledgeable, caring and compassionate. She also has a great personality which made the visit super enjoyable.
Dr. Rizk is kind, patient, gentle, and informative. I had what I'm sure were a few odd questions and at no point did she act like I was stupid for asking them, and she answered them clearly and concisely. She has a wonderful, calming bedside manner, as well. Highly, highly recommend.
Wonderful, smart, thoughtful and caring provider.
Abby was wonderful! She was my midwife for the birth of my son and I'm so glad. It was an unmedicated birth and she was patient and encouraging and when my baby's heart slowed down she took the action needed to get him out quickly & safely. At my six week appointment we discussed the birth and I was able to thank her properly for all she did. I would happily have her help with my next baby's birth.
Abigail is very informative and supportive, I always feel safe and trust in her care.
Abigail takes time to listen and cares about patients.
La Señora desde que empezó la cita me trató bien y me hablo bien, en todoo momento uvo un trato con respeto y la atención fue exento
Very patient and kind. Gave me options about treatment/care without being pushy or making me feel pressured into something. Did her very best to make me comfortable during my exam.
She was very friendly and positive. She walked me through the exam. She supported me in my goals and encouraged me.
She provides such amazing care every single time.
Abigail did an excellent job
Very kind and thoughtful and patient
I was seen by a student under Abigails supervision. As a recent student, I appreciated the balance of autonomy and oversight that Abigail gave. The student was very good but Abigail double checked everything and assured me the student had done a good job. Abigail had some follow-up questions and was very good at listening and being respectful. She got preventative care taken care of and sent me a lot of resources.
Super kind and walked me through everything that was happening to help me understand and ease my anxiety!
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.
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.
she was very thorough!
