I have been dealing with a significant skin allergy for about a year and a half. No one has been able to help me. Just after my first visit we already have an amazing plan to try to address this. He also gave me information that no other doctor has that could possibly solve this problem. I was extremely impressed.

The only concern I have is the problem this practice has in contacting me to report results of various biopsies. If they would share the results via email it may solve this concern. As for the staff and Dr. Rickett and Dr. Moye, I am very satisfied with thier professionalism and concern.

I visited Dr Rickett for treatment for an infected cyst, which I was very nervous about because it was very painful & my first experience with something like this. Both he & his nurse Olivia were understanding & very compassionate. Dr Rickett explained what was going on & what they needed to do to treat me & provide relief. They let me know that if I needed a break during any part of the process to let them know & they checked on my comfort level through the entire procedure. Dr Rickett & his staff are kind, compassionate & provide wonderful care.
