Dale J. Ritzo, MD

The moment I remember is the day after I had a surgery and woke up the next day and there he was at the foot of my bed. Who does that ? Dr. Ritzo ! He is always there for me !

I have the best doctor in the world. Not only does he discover things before they are serious, but each year as we sit down in his office to review my annual physical tests, we talk about baseball. His son Joe is an announcer for the San Francisco Giants. Dad is a fan. Once we get that out of the way, we get down to looking at the lab tests. Thank God they are normal, and may that be the case… See more

Dr Ritzo cares about my wife and about me in a complete holistic way that provides us as two 82 year old very long time patients the care, comfort and advice we need at this time of our lives. He is patient with us. Thorough in his examinations and clear in his explanations. We look forward to seeing him for our semi and annual exams. He is always available for call when we need medical advice… See more

Dr. Ritzo always responds quickly , with balanced and “common sense” thinking. If other specialized treatment is needed, he makes the connection directly and efficiently. My husband, Bill, needed such help and Dr. Ritzo responded accordingly.

I have been a patient of Dr. Ritzo for almost thirty years! My mother, too, was his patient for about twenty years.

Dr. Ritzo has been my primary physician for over 25 years. I just completed my annual wellness check up, a complete physical. Dr. Ritzo explains each step and what to be on the look out for. Additionally there is a complete written revue which I can also refer to. He is always available to take care of any pending issues throughout the year, whenever I need him. It gives me a great deal of… See more

Dr.Ritzo is the absolute best. He,s a caring, understanding, compassionateiDoctor. Always with the correct diagnosis. He takes the time to listen to what you have to say, never rushing through your appointment. He always answers a phone call or e mail the same day of your message. So thankful he is our family Doctor.

Dr. Ritzo was constantly available on my recent trip to the ER and followed through on all my questions - thanks aren't nearly enough.

When Dr. Ritzo decided to become a MDVIP provider he invited us to watch a video featuring Lucy Arnaz trying to keep up with an assembly line wrapping candies at an ever-increasing rate.
As medicine had become more influenced by insurance and government regulations, doctors were required to do more by giving less time to each patient. Many conditions are not a fifteen minute quick… See more
