Patient Reviews
Jun 26, 2023
I have been seeing Dr Ritchken for over 20 years. He initially diagnosed my IBD when another gastro doctor misdiagnosed it. Dr Ritchken has been my primary ever since. In those years has had consistently proved smarter than his peers, properly diagnosing other weird conditions that I’ve had. He takes adequate time to listen to your problem and provide a solution. Additionally, his bedside manner and personality are terrific.
