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.

Could not be happier with my experience with Dr. Ringold. He was very personable and seemed to genuinely care about my well being before and after surgery. I would definitely recommend him to others seeking the same procedure I had!

At first I thought Dr.Ringold was a good doctor but after a wk in the hospital with my daughter her surgery site began to smell, after getting out of the hospital at Springhill Med we went to wound care and they found that Dr.Ringold left gauze inside her arm. The nurses cared for the surgery spot yet never noticed the gauze that had been left inside of her underarm during the surgery. I couldn't believe the surgeon left it without making notes then the nurses didn't find it either. Infection..
