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.

I have been Dr. Ritzo's patient for about 20 years. I feel he has been one of the greatest gifts to me. I do not know a more caring, loving doctor, or person for that matter. He goes the extra mile every time presented with a medical or personal challenge. He has an outstanding staff that reflect his highly professional and personal standards. We are so blessed to have him here in San Mateo. Thank You Dr. Ritzo, Kenn Edwards

Dr. Ritzo is the best doctor one could possibly find. He listens very carefully, gives you all the time you need and will perform any test needed for his patient. He is a very caring doctor. I consider, having Dr. Ritzo as my primary care doctor for the last 28 years, a huge gift in my life.
