I have to say that every aspect of my initial visit was exemplary. Dr Ritter listened to my concerns, explained what was going on with my heart, and provided a course of action that would most appropriately solve my issues. I would most certainly highly recommend Dr Ritter without any reservations.

Dr Ritter has an excellent “bedside” manner. He is thorough and quite knowledgeable with regards to his specialty of Cardiology. His staff are welcoming and professional. Wait time was minimal. I would highly recommend him for anyone seeking a Cardiologist. They will not be disappointed. I was impressed that the office had its own echocardiogram set up which is quite convenient for those who might need one.

AMAZING doctor!! Super friendly and actually listens to you. He was a refreshing change in a sea of doctors who have ignored my symptoms over the years. Everyone else in the office was also very friendly! You can tell that the employees there loved their job which really makes a difference ??

June 8, 2026Yeneneh M.Verified patient
Great experience on the first visit. Was having chest pain the night before and didn't want to deal with a hospital so booked here for first thing in the morning. Everything went smooth and they were ready for me when I got there. The office is clean and staff is sweet. The Dr Ritter has a GREAT bed side manner and very personable. Told me everything is ok, but we're still going to do tests. It felt great dealing with a simple doctor's office vs the big practices with the rude staff.

I have never felt so supported and seen by a doctor — especially as a new patient. I was blown away by his bedside manner and care, even in just a short appointment. I couldnt recommend him more.

Dr. Ritter’s care was absolutely amazing, I had a great experience at his clinic.
I didn’t have to wait hours for him to come see me, he was very kind and took the time to answer all the questions I had. I feel confident about my treatment plan and about being under Dr. Ritter’s care for the long run.
Highly recommend!
