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. Ritter was extraordinary during my bout with Covid. She was caring, upbeat and her expertise was most comforting. I wish all practioners had this highest level of professionalism. I cannot rate her high enough.

No only is Dr. Ritter exceptionally educated and knowledgeable, she is very caring. She has exceded my expectations and I am thankful for her guidance and care. She was born to be a doctor. She puts her patients first. UCSD Medical has many great doctors and she is among the top.

Excellent doctor and staff. I was treated by Dr.Ritter for four months and found her to be knowledgeable, compassionate, quick to respond, easy to talk to and a good listener. I believe she is the Head of that department at UCSD in San Diego and LaJolla. Her staff is super responsive and were helpful in o many ways. The best doctor I have ever had, and I have had many over the years.

Terrible Service, completely non-responsive to a critical patient. Stay away, the UCSD Infectious Disease Department are overwhelmed and very selective, you are better off elsewhere if you can afford it.
