Dr. Mitchell Rice is a dedicated family medicine physician with deep roots in the Sandusky community. Dr. Rice was inspired to pursue medicine for its unique ability to blend knowledge with human connection by helping people in their most vulnerable moments with empathy, understanding and compassion. 

Dr. Rice is committed to building long-term relationships with patients and helping them navigate every stage of life with confidence and clarity. For him, medicine was more than a career path—it was a calling shaped by the example of his father and sisters.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Rice is passionate about health education and community connection. Dr. Rice also enjoys serving at his local church, golfing, skiing and playing the piano. Most of all, he treasures quality time with his wife, Mandi and their dog.

I had the best experience with Dr. Rice! He is the first doctor who truly listened to my concerns and showed compassion. I left the office feeling hopeful and encouraged that I finally found a doctor who is willing to work with me and help improve my quality of life. I have seen several doctors who have brushed off my fatigue to being a mom with young kids. I can't even put into words how grateful I am to have found a physician who actually believes me when I say I'm way more tired than I should be. He is also incredibly knowledgeable. I have already recommended him to many people and several have already scheduled appointments!
