I visited Dr. Ricotta for varicose veins, a relatively new condition for me. He was highly recommended by another physician, and I can see why. He was clear, thorough, and patient. His expertise is obvious. He made me feel like he was interested in what I had to say. It is disconcerting to face a new medical problem and I felt lucky to have found Dr. Ricotta, who seems like a really nice fellow in addition to a skilled and experienced physician.

He and his team were nice and good at explaining the care that I needed to embark upon to manage what is apparently a chronic, long term disease. My only regret is that it took 3 years before someone referred me to him!

For 2 years since my DVT & PE I was having constant left leg and foot swelling. I saw a vascular surgeon at another hospital who never really listened to my concerns. I was referred to Dr. Ricotta and he listened to my concerns and proposed several test to try to determine what was causing this issue. I was so relieved to have a doctor that would listen to my concerns and wanted to help me. I am happy to say that he fixed my issue and I have seen a huge reduction in my swelling. Thank you!

The whole experience was on time, done with care and professionalism. Particularly appreciate the overall "chances of" information. Given the sudden emergence of the right blockage, definitely want to continue to have an annual check up.
