Dr. Neha Parikh Rickson, MD

Very brusque receptionist. Inflexible at accepting data in ANY FORM other than having me hand-write it in. Grossly incompetent seeming nurse(s). Terrible communication within office. Dr. Rickson timid about treatment, not the least bit knowledgeable about current medical literature, e.g. duodenal bypass studies showing often immediate elimination of type II diabetes symptoms. Scheduling friendly but not competent:



In November I was sent a letter stating I had missed two appts in DECEMBER (the following month -- the appointment dates hadn't even arrived yet!). That was a neat trick of them to prognosticate that I was going to no-show, especially since I had NEVER missed an appointment and NEVER been late... Were they using a time machine?



I left a phone message upon letter receipt (since you can NEVER get anybody on phone in that rat's-warren phone system of voice-mail-jail) pointing out I still planned to make those not-yet-occurred appointment dates. Doctor's response was another letter telling me they would no longer serve me and that I should call some social service for other referral (I'm on United Healthcare and don't need that, thanks very much.) AVOID RICKSON - LOW COMPETENCE.
