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.

Absolutely the worst speciality Doctor
After a 3 minute meeting he diagnosed with Parkinson’s. I went to another Dr with a totally different diagnosis

My sleep study was done at Mary Black; Dr. Robert Ringel was my Neurologist. That unit closed. I need Dr. Ringel to advise me.

Have been here 3 times. Every time you wait an hour in waiting room and then at least 30 in the waiting room. Dr told me to get over the counter braces and come back in 3 weeks.

Dr. Ringel appears to be trying but is constantly 30 min to 2 hours past appointment times, so plan to spend some time. He blows into the exam room with no prior review of the patients history or even why they're there. His office staff is not the friendliest and I actually had one hang up on me when I was trying to get some information on preapproval for a procedure. "Dawn" accused me of trying to tell her how to do her job and constantly interrupted me. Looking to Change providers.

He prescribed my mother 2 xanax to take before she was supposed to have a lumbar puncture. She couldn't walk and slurred her speech. The nurses were rude and insinuated that she was a liar because he didn't remember prescribing the medication. They sent us home without checking her vitals or anything. My mother sat in a wheelchair doubled over asleep for most of the visit and once the xanax wore off she couldn't remember anything. The nurse was supposed to call and that was 4 days ago.

Didn't listen to my concerns; blew them off. He was in & out of the room & then sent the nurse in to talk to me instead of him. Took of meds for testing, then wouldn't prescribe anything to help OR even re-prescribe what I'd been on despite it working, being not controlled, safe, having had no side effects, and having taken it for years. My PCP knew more and he's the specialist. Expect a minimum of 2 hour wait time. Nurses were unbelievably rude and constantly interrupted my concerns. RUN AWAY
