What WE DID WELL

(Answers:674)

The friendliness. professionalism and knowledge of all staff members.

It is clearly evident taht Dr. Ringpfeil is genuinely motivated by listening to your full symptoms, issues and then selecting the approach that is best for you. I scheduled my appt with the hopes of undergoing pricey treatments. Rather than signing me up and taking my check, she insisted that we first address the cause of my problems. Obviously, her goal is to heal the patient, not simply select the treatments that would be most lucrative for her. Impressive.

#22025-11-02

I thought the doctor was very thorough in explaining the procedures I need to take care of my skin problem

#32025-05-15

I have been to a number of derm docs....often it seems as though they have you try this or that but never seem to have a clear plan as to how they will treat ALL of the issues at hand. Thank you for taking the time to address each one of my concerns.

The office ambiance is exceptional! Since I am a musician, I really enjoyed the soothing, classical music playing softly in the background. The fresh flowers also add a nice touch. I was extremely impressed by the cleanliness of the facilities and the professional and thorough treatment I received by Dr. Ringpfeil. The technological efficiency of the office was also very impressive!

#52025-10-14

thoroughness of staff

#62025-10-11

New options! Every dermatologist I've gone to says and does the same things. I'm happy to be trying something new since those other methods didn't work.

#72011-05-19 10:14:50

What can we do better?

(answers:373)

this computer system doesnt show the full anser in some cases. and some required tabs shouldnt be required, like cell phone and work phone.

#12025-10-19

I can't think of a single thing to make it better!

#22025-10-23

no suggestions, you are doing a good job

#32026-02-15

receptionist should not be so quick to refuse insurance before fully understanding the the type of insurance and how it functions

#42011-09-14 09:34:31

Can not be better!

#52011-04-05 09:29:32

My only complaint is that I work and live (1 mile from) Center City, PA and I wish the office (Dr. Ringpfield) had weekend or later hours. Dr. Heckman was great but she cannot assist me with my cosmetic issues. Overall - like the office and professionalism.

#62011-08-10 18:44:27

#72010-10-27 12:20:56

No major suggestions. I got all the answers I needed.

#82025-07-17

It would be helpful to have some later evening hours, but the early morning hours work for me too!
