I live in Youngstown and was not happy with the care/lack of concern that I was receiving from my gastrointestinal doctor. I decided that I needed to go to the clinic and after just one visit with Dr Rizk I knew it was the right decision. Dr Rizk listened to all my issues and explained everything in a way that I could understand.

I have had colonoscopies performed by more than one doctor over the years. How you feel after the procedure has a great deal to do with the doctor performing it. I've had an unpleasant experience after the procedure with other doctors but never when Dr. Rizk performs the colonoscopy. Every procedure has gone smoothly and with little discomfort afterwards when he has performed it. I ask specifically for him for my procedure, my wife asks specifically for him, we've recommended him to others as well. He's the best!
