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.

I'm an RN who was newly diagnosed with IBS and he practically threw me out of his office when I requested a note for intermittent leave. As a fellow healthcare professional, I was truly shocked and appalled by his behavior.

The best doctor I've ever had! His bedside manner is amazing and he had me laughing several times. Dr Ritchken really took his time to talk to me and ask alot of questions related to my condition. He did a full physical exam and explained everything using charts and diagrams. He recommended furthur testing and I feel confident that he will correctly diagnose me and solve my stomach issues. Just an outstanding doctor who deserves every 5 star review he gets.

Dr Ritchken's is a brilliant doctor with 40 years of experience and great bedside manner. Dr. Ritchken went above and beyond by even returning same day to redo a procedure (that couldn't be completed fully on the first try) to accommodate patient’s request. Most doctors would reschedule instead. Dr. Ritchken practice isn't a "factory" and he chooses to take his time and pay full attention to each patient. He is also very sharp, efficient and organized. His stuff is very friendly and helpful.

Dr. Ritchken is very thorough and competent - he has a very good bed-side manner. I will go to him for my next colonoscopy.
