Ritchken Simon M MD

While Dr Ritchken may be an excellent physician, his office staff and manager are horribly unorganized and unavailable. If you like playing infinite phone tag or finally conversing with abrupt and self centered help, then this is the office for you. In the end, it’s all about them.

I liked him as a doctor but the staff made him a pain in the butt to work with. They don’t have an answering machine active at all times so I had to call over and over again, just to leave a message. Then if I missed the return call, I’d have to start over. The lady at the desk was dismissive when I brought this up, so I moved on to another doctor the next time this happened and am happy for it.

The best doctor ever! All the good comments you have read are true. He is so kind, focused, funny and good at what he does. He helps you to feel so comfortable and he gets the jobs done. So grateful to have found this doctor. His staff is also very nice and helpful!

I am lucky to have found Dr. Ritchken! He is a very kind and compassionate person and I had a wonderful experience at his office!

Dr. Ritcken is one of the best doctors around. He is caring, extremely kind, goes over everything thoroughly and actually takes his time to educate you. I actually enjoy my visits because he is so kind and funny as heck! I cannot think of one negative thing to say about him. Although I do think it is so unfair that people who have not even seen him would write such bad reviews. There is no reason why anyone should write a bad review about a doctor if they have never seen him or spoken with him at all. There are many doctors out there that do not accept HMO and only accept PPO, that is your choice if you decide to get HMO, you are limited to the doctors you can see, but just because they do not accept HMO does not make them bad doctors, in fact, you can probably find the best doctors with a PPO plan.
All I can say is if you knew Dr. Ritchken, you would not be able to write a bad thing about him. Dr. Ritchken is one of the most excellent doctors around who really cares about his patients. You can’t find any better from a doctor so knowledgeable, kind and patient as Dr. Ritchken. He is as good as they come if not better! Ten stars!

Dr. Ritchkin is an excellent physician! He is very thorough. I have recommended him to several people and they feel the same as I do. He is caring and makes you feel at ease.

I have only gone here a few times. The front office staff is rude and unreceptive to the patients needs. The Dr. Is also hard to get an appointment with. Don’t start going here you won’t be pleased. Horrible

I was referred to Dr R by my primary MD a few years ago. I was very hesitant to see a specialist and was very nervous but… Dr R was wonderful. He was professional, thorough, sensitive to my apprehensions, and put me at ease. He is highly skilled!
When results were available he gave me clear and easy to understand information as soon as he had knowledge of it, and did not hesitate to give me copies!
I had an insurance issue and… he actually went to bat for me to assist in getting it straightened out! That is extremely rare and impressive!
The only regret is that he is a specialist, and I can’t see him for primary care as I would make him my only doctor if it were possible!

Dr. Ritchken is at once both professional and warm/​caring. He is also quite funny. I feel that he really cares about his patients, and his staff is great as well. He took very detailed notes on our appointment, and i felt that he took my case very seriously and treated me very respectfully the entire time. I would definitely recommend him to friends.
Overall, an excellent experience.
