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.

Great practice. Love Dr. Ritchie and the staff.
My only negative is that I had to wait quite a while to start my appointment but that is because Dr. Ritchie does not rush through the visit which is a good thing that I appreciate.

Knowledgeable, professional and friendly
Dr Ritchie is my favorite doctor. She understands all the complexities of human emotion and experience that factor in to caring for our health. The office is well run, there is a lab on site, and the patient portal is an excellent way to communicate between visits.
