Scott Rickert, MD

If I could give a higher rating, I would! My 4 year old daughter was suffering from chronic strep and finally needed a full tonsillectomy. We were referred to Dr. Rickert and we couldn’t have had a better experience. During our first consultation he completely wiped away all concerns we had and put us at ease. The office is impeccably clean, and the staff is genuinely caring and professional. By the time the day of surgery arrived everything had been taken care of by Dr. Rickert’s office, there was nothing for us to do but bring in our daughter. The waiting area had a small play room for children to play in, they even brought my daughter bubbles to blow and before we knew it, our nervous daughter was having a blast. The staff made sure to make everything fun and as stress free as possible. After about 20 minutes our daughter was in recovery doing amazingly well. Dr. Rickert came and spoke with us, told us what to expect and how well surgery went. We expected the worst when we came home but, our daughter was talking, eating, drinking and playing. It was as if she didn’t have surgery! We live in Staten Island, and while NYU is a bit of a hike, Dr. Rickert is well worth it! I wouldn’t trust my daughter with anyone else and I recommend him to everyone I know in need of an ENT.
