Dr. Dale Ritzo is there to keep my health goals on track. Always available by phone when I travel, he gets me. I am a healthy woman because of Dr. Ritzo tracking all my issues.
I am always amazed by how he affords the time to listen to all my ailments and I do have a few. And then easily goes over them one by one, and finds some solutions to most.Elizabeth
Our parents are 95 and 99 years old respectively. Neither are very mobile and reluctant to go to a doctor. Dr. Ritzo regularly makes home visits to them to make sure they are in good health and spirits. We are so grateful!
I appreciate the thoroughness and attention to personal detail that Dr. Dale Ritzo has always demonstrated.
His patience for listening to my concerns and his recommendations are by far the best I have received.
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 !
