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 would not recommend Ridnour to someone I hated, let alone my family and friends. She is disrespectful about my pain, even after an exploratory laparoscopy that SHE performed. She has repeatedly dismissed my statements that I do not have any desire for children, and told me I might change my mind. She told me that my options to help my endometriosis were an IUD, medically induced menopause, or to get pregnant. Pregnancy does not work to heal endometriosis permanently and is not a solution. Ridnour has a poor bedside manner and has never made me feel comfortable or even neutral in her office. After every appointment with her I had to set 30 minutes into my schedule to calm down. I do not recommend Ridnour unless you enjoy having your concerns and opinions dismissed.

Although Dr. Ridnour is personable and makes you feel comfortable through your whole visit...If you are trying to conceive and are have questions regarding your fertility or want testing to understand if your body based on charting, she is not the one for you. I've struggled with questions regarding my charts and suspicions of infertility issues for nearly a year now and she just told me to take OPK tests...I will now be seeing a specialist.

She is in expert in her field. She is also a straight shooter. It helps to be prepared to ask the questions you want answered in advanced so that she could help me understand what was happening. She helped me understand things in the simplest of terms and we came up with a plan and a plan B. Thank you Dr. Ridnour and Laura!
