    I am pleased with Dr Rico after this one visit which was more of a consult for prostate cancer. I find it a little difficult since I have a urologist who I'm working with who referred me to [...] of Temple for surgery in removing my prostate and Ive now been referred to Dr Rico as my Oncologist. I can only hope that they all speak to each other and work as a team for my care. Especially now Dr Rico and [...], the Urologist
