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. Ridenour has been my primary health and wellness physician for many years. He is always attentive and proactive.

Dr. Ridenour ~ there are not enough positive adjectives to describe what a wonderful trusted physician I have ever had. I had to move to another state after my husband passed away, and I simply cannot find a physician up to his standards and compassion. I cannot even imagine that even one patient that reviewed Dr. Ridenour could find one thing negative to report. To be honest, having Dr. Ridenour as my physician is the only thing I miss about Tyler TX. Thank you Dr. Ridenour for always going above and beyond for your patients.

Love Dr Ridenour! He is aggressive with treatment when he needs to be but laid back when the situation calls for it. He is a great combination of compassionate and intelligent.

The very best doctor that my wife and I have ever had. He truly is a loving, caring and very, very bright professional, who donates his time and services to the needy in foreign countries.

Dr. Ridenour was my parents doctor and has been my doctor and my wife's doctor for around 20 years. He is one of the best doctors I have ever had over my years. He asks the right questions and is not one of these doctors that orders tests unless he really thinks they are needed. He is very perceptive and I always feel he is very focused when I am with him. He has the experience and intelligence to diagnose conditions quickly and accurately. Great doctor and very compassionate.

He always listens and doesn't give the impression that he's trying to get in/out (and was #1 in his class according to my wife who works at TMF). Smart and personable!

Patients beware... ask for charges up front for you don't want surprise charges on your bill. Does not explain anything and asks too many questions so he can stick you with a big bill later on! Be very careful as to what you say during your office visit or you may get a surprise billing charges!!!
