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.

Bad experience
I don't appreciate the close-mindedness of Dr. Ritter. He lacks the problem solving skills and creativity I would expect in a doctor. Based on my knee problems, he advised me, an otherwise healthy patient in my 20's, to give up running entirely rather than search for a solution to keep me doing what I love. I hope this review helps other runners fight for themselves and find a doctor who is actually solution-oriented.

Mr. Ritter performed basic ACL surgery on my daughter that was a very high level scholarship athlete. He not onlt bothched any otherwisw basic surgery he destroyed her knee to where she was never able to play again. We had to have Dr. Klootwyk perform multiple surgeries to repair his shoddy work. He never even apologized, but instead he made excuses.

Dr. Mark Ritter has performed 4 surgeries for me - 3 rotator cuff repairs and 1 knee surgery. He has a grand bed side manner and is extremely thorough. His professionalism plus warm caring demeanor is truly unique in the medical field today. I highly recommend his expert opinions and surgical procedures. You will not be disappointed in choosing him as your orthopedic surgeon.
