Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very good doctor!
He was able to recommend what is needed for my recovery. It was slow recovery process, but with his help, I was able to feel better than I did before.

Emergency gallbladder surgery
Dr Ritz was great. He explained everything, answered all my questions and made me feel at ease prior to my surgery. He even gave me his personal phone # if I had any other questions. Post op he visited and told me everything went great. I cant say enough about how caring Dr Ritz was.

appendix surgery process
My hospitalization experience at El Mercy Hospital was the most welcoming and I felt that The doctor and his work team were always concerned about my healing and recovery. Doctor David Ritz was aware of my healing process and when I left the hospital they were sure that I would have the necessary care at home, then the visits to his clinic were very attentive and always The doctor was concerned sending him photos as I was recovering and we were always in touch that made me feel cared for 24 hours a day by me Toctor care and professionalism 10 out of 10

Amazing Doctor!
I recently had my gallbladder removed. We truly appreciate all of the knowledge that Dr. Ritz gave us. He was able to truly paint us a picture of exactly what was going to happen so we fully understood. Everything came out exactly how he explained without any complications. I am truly so happy that I met him. I had so much pain and now I have none. He saved my life! The staff at Long Island Surgical is the best of the best!!! highly recommend. They make you feel like home

Incredible doctor! Very attentive.
My mom had surgery (appendix ruptured)3 weeks ago. The doctor is amazing, he made sure she was taken care and while at the hospital he checked on her everyday. The surgery went great, he did a really good job. I would recommend him.

Amazing surgeon
Dr. Ritz! Excellent bedside manner. Very Informative and had plenty of patience. He took the time to explain everything thoroughly and answered all my questions that I had. My surgery was a success, thanks to him. The follow up was blissful. Him and his amazing staff helped me from the moment I arrived till the very end. Simply amazing people, very welcoming. I would recommend him to anybody that is not familiar with the process of surgery or anything that has to do with surgeries.

Amazing surgeon
Dr. Ritz is an extremely skilled and detailed surgeon. Not only did he address my medical emergency swiftly, but did so with clear explanation and professional comfort. During follow up, he put my mind at ease that my procedure was such a success that there was little to no worry about future concerns.
