About
Why I entered medicine
My choice to go to medical school seems to have begun long before college and was the result of a very idealistic view of life and a desire to use the gifts God had given me in the most effective way. My career as a pediatrician was really chosen for me. After third-year medical school clinical rotations in family medicine, internal medicine and then pediatrics, my wife said to me, "You need to be a pediatrician." She reminded me of one very special 8-year-old patient who was dying of cancer yet who was the patient whom I talked about the most and whom I looked forward to seeing the most each day. After a few minutes of thought, I never looked back. And I've never regretted the decision.
Personal interests
Ideally my faith in God would define me as a person. A few years ago, I wrote up a personal mission statement that encapsulated my broad goals. That statement said that I want to be in a growing and dynamic relationship with God that allows me to be more effective in my roles as a husband, father and physician. My thoughts have not changed in the intervening years. I have a passion for doing things excellently, completely and with compassion. I feel that this is a direct outgrowth of my faith. I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, reading, landscaping/yard work, running and working in my local church.

Comments
"Dr. Rice & staff are the best! Thank you!"
"Dr. Rice is a wonderful pediatrician who makes you feel heard and comfortable"
"In looking for a pediatrician for my son, I went to Google to try to evaluate based off of reviews, but when I came into my appointment and met Dr. Rice, it was very obvious at that point that he was an amazing doctor with the way he treated us, and I knew that I wanted him to be the pediatrician for our son. He was amazing at explaining everything going on with our son and explaining the vaccines and everything to expect in the first few weeks of life. Really, I couldn't have asked for anyone better as a provider. He was excellent, and I look forward to continuing to have him as my pediatrician."
