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.

Caring and Good Listener
Dr Ridge keeps her undivided attention on you when she sees you. She explains things clearly, is patient with your questions, and is honest. I thank Jesus for Dr Ridge’s help connecting me to the right surgeon for my neurological condition.

I don’t like western medicine. Dr ridge worked with me to get better and opened up my mind to becoming more flexible. She is the best and I have a correct diagnosis and treatment after many years.

She's really busy... but always makes time for her patients. I always expect a wait time before my appointment but it's well worth it. For me, she dug deep and found details about my neurological disorder (passing out) that other docs wouldn't have found because they didn't take the time. She got to know me as a person first. They don't make docs like her nowadays.

I was nervous and scared about a stroke I experienced. She found out what caused it after the hospital did a cursory job and missed the problem. I feel I have been given a second chance. She makes something like the human brain understandable in a very professional and kind way.

Pat in Hilo – Aug 29, 2016
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Ridge?
After taking us in late & during the first consultation, Dr. Ridge left the office to get fitted for eyeglass frames (in the middle of the consultation!). That eyeglass consultation took over 20 minutes. She justified the delay by saying she needs to see (needs her glasses), she is too busy to go to her eye doctor for her fitting, and her eye doctor made effort to come down to her Dr. Ridges office. There were other issues that call into question if patients truly come first.

After waiting three months for testing to be completed and results to come in, with no medical intervention for chronic pain whatsoever, Dr Ridge found that I did not have the condition she was testing for and put me on the medication for that condition anyway. I never waited fewer than two hours after my appointment time to see the doctor. She does not listen to the patient.

Dr. Ridge is not only a great Neurologist but a caring person. In my case, she has gone above and beyond what I normally expect from a physician. Not only has she effectively treated my neurological problems but supported me emotionally through a very difficult episode. Many thanks Dr. Ridge, you are a HERO to me and my family!
