Outdated equipment and horrible staff . The doctor is good but his assistants are horrible. They will try to sell you their products at an inflated price even if you have insurance.
Horrible place I recommend visiting your family doctor instead.

Dr. Dirico was great! He was very understanding of my situation and was very flexible with scheduling. He has extensive knowledge of my foot issue and he was able to get me treated in a way that felt really comfortable to me. He is very understanding of situations and personal preferences. There was an experimental drug that was found to help my situation and he guided me through the process of fully understanding it and its side effects. He showed me multiple clinical studies and gave me his own opinion but above all he let my opinion be the deciding factor. That being said, he wasnt a pill

The people are super nice from the young lady on the front desk to the young nurse to the doctor.. Doctor took the time to explain the injury and the next steps to come.. Wish I was good with names so I can give every employee a personal thank you in my review.

Without a doubt, Dr. DiRico has been my best doctor experience and I cannot say enough good things about him and his staff!
Diagnosis
I had an accident which required me to go to urgent care where I was diagnosed with a sprain and it was suggested that I see a specialist within the next week for a follow up. After checking out local reviews, I chose Dr. DiRico and was lucky enough to get an appointment with him the next day. His office staff was extremely friendly, the facilities were clean, and I was taken back to the patient room quickly. After talking through the accident, my symptoms from

One of the worst experiences of my life. Doctor has no idea what she is doing. Just seemed un knowledgeable about my particular situation. Did not make me feel like I was being taken care of but rather taken advantage of. No transparency on anything. No thorough care. Just seems like they want to take as much money from you as possible. Very pushy and like I said no transparency. Absolutely Disgusting.
I go to a different clinic and they explain to me the charge for everything and why a certain thing is necessary. They really take the time there to make sure I have what I need and everyone remembers
