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.

Engaged, Smart, and Conversational
Dr. Echt is amazing!!!! Love her thoroughness and her ease in conversation. She led me through the most thorough lab discussion I have ever had, in a way I could understand. I left the appointment with a great understanding of how to monitor my wellness as a menopausal female.

I can't express how fortunate I feel to have found Dr. Ritter again. She is without a doubt the best doctor I've ever had. She is so thorough in reviewing medical history, listening for understanding in what you are telling her, and evaluating a patient from a holistic view. Dr. Ritter is truly exceptional! For others who are still trying to find her- She is the medical director/practice owner at LT Proactive Care-Green Valley Medical, 121 Carnegie St. in Henderson, NV.

Best Doctor in Vegas. So lucky to have found her. She actually listens and takes time to understand a person's complete health issues. She's the only doctor I'd recommend.

Dr Ritter is the best doctor I have ever had the opportunity to meet. She takes her time with you and gets to know you so she can truly treat any health issues you have. She does not push pills but works with you by changing diet and using supplements. I highly recommend her and want to know where she is now. Dignity lost a great Doctor!

Dr. RITTER takes the time to LISTEN TO, and recognize her patients needs. She is very thorough, informed and well educated. She appears to treat us the same as if we were her own family.

I love Dr Ritter. I'm very glad that I found her. She is such a fun and pleasant Dr to speak to and to visit. Very down to earth and caring. I've never had a Dr that I thoroughly enjoy. I had an endocrinologist that put me on multiple medications and she took me off some as she didn't feel I should take it as I'm young. She's definitely a believer of changing your diet and incorporating exercise to help with health, whereas, most drs just gave me medications. Which I don't want.

Best doctor I have seen in a long time. She listened to what I had to say and I felt like she truly cared. I also really like that she doesn't seem to be a doctor that just throws drugs at you and sends you on your way, she seems to approach things from all aspects (nutrition, medicine, supplements/herbs, etc).
