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.

My baby was in the NICU when he arrived via emergency c-section due to distress. Dr. Ritter came to my room, reassured me that she was going to take the absolute best care of my son they could and told me her plan for him immediately. She then gave me a hug, after all I probably look perfectly terrified after the long night I had. When he was born, the first 48 hours were terrifying, but she explained everything that was happening and what she was doing to help.
