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 Ritsema is awesome! Very thorough. Is great about getting back with me!

I have been a patient of Crystal Ritsema's for three years now. She is just awful. She ignores and dodges messages, she is only part-time, she doesn't listen to your concerns, she knows nothing about Thyroid disorders, she holds your medications for ransom until you come to visit her or one of her nurse practitioners. I wish I was never ever stuck with her as my family doctor. Her diagnosis and lack of attention to my disorder made it so much worst, turning my thyroid disorder into a full-blown mood disorder. I will know soon if her careless doctoring made me infertile.

Very disappointed in this office. I was put on a medication for short term I never should have been on. Have issues with other staff in the office as well. Currently lookinf=g for a new PCP so I don't have to deal with this office any longer.
