“Dr. Rinker is a solution provider who is willing to solve problems that fit into the needs of your medical history and lifestyle. In just 2 days I was able to see a great change in my skin without having to take an antibiotic. My last Dr. wanted me to stay on antibiotics for over 60 days which is not a REAL solution. New soap. New topical cream and a night cream have my skin almost back to looking fresh, glowing and youthful. Not like I am 60. Thank you Dr. Rinker for sharing your keen insights and helping me feel like me again.”

Verified patient
Dr. Margaret Rinker was not "alarmed" (unlike the spouse) about either of the two skin conditions I presented her with and calmly explained what they were, how to treat them and what to expect next. My issues were important to me but minor in the grand-scheme of dermatology, so there were easy time tested solutions. I feel much better now getting everything sorted.
