Dr. Ritsema and his staff are excellent. We have been patients for decades. He listens to our healthcare needs-like prescriptions filled for an entire year because we will be in Africa for that time. Additionally, he offered workable solutions for the area where we would be living, away from modern medicine. I also appreciate his faith based approach to medical care that recognizes man as more than just a material body but also a spiritual soul. He understands how the state of the soul impacts the health of the body.

Dr Ritsema answered questions about new med! He is always glad to listen to me and health issues.
