I had a Primary Doctor that seemed to want to always give me medications for everything. Pushed back on me when my Cardiologist took me off of Statins. I looked elsewhere and starting seeing Dr Munoz-Ritterbusch, and she listened to me and understands my approach to healthcare and explains things well so that I know I can make the right decisions for myself and my health. I appreciate her listening and also her ability to explain things.
