The professionalism of the staff and doctor. Everyone was easy to talk to and my questions were answered.

#82025-08-01

Doctor is extremely efficient and knowledgeable, and even discussed treatment for another condition -- my oral canker sores -- which nobody had ever mentioned previously. Also, the office is really lovely with nice music, rather than pical office music.

Friendly faces pleasant people wonderful and comfortable atmosphere.

Magazines in the examining room to read while I waited for the doctor (I get bored easily).

#72010-10-25 10:00:31

Can't think of a thing

#82025-12-17

I had an appointment for a consulation for sun damage. Unfortunately, I need to see either a doctor or PA for my issue and this was not included in my appointment, so I need to make another trip. It is difficult for me to carve time out of my work day to take care of personal needs, so this is creating an inconvenience for me. I would have preferred to had the complete consultation done in one appointment.

#92011-02-14 14:14:53

Thank you for your help. I will definitely recommend Dr. Ringpfeil to friends.
