Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Ritchie is been an awesome doctor who truly cares about his patients and takes the time to listen to his patients which is a vital part to a successful/best outcome regardless of the situation. Wishing him the best on his retirement as he will surely be missed!

I would recommend Dr. Ritchie to others because he’s honest and straight to the point and I love this about him. He listened to me and answered all the questions I had. He has a good bedside manner and doesn’t treat you as if you know nothing or look at you as though you’re crazy as I’ve experienced with other doctors. He wants What’s best for you and want to do all he can to get you well again and I also like the people at his office, they’re nice and friendly and very helpful.
