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.

The absolute best!
She is a top Physician with an artist’s eye. Whether you’re seeing her for a serious medical issue or a delicate cosmetic procedure, you’re getting the best in the field. I speak from decades of experience. Her staff is top-notch, too.

Inspires confidence
Dr. Ringpfeil is punctual and brisk, but very thorough. Her diagnoses are quick, clear, and in my experience have always turned out to be correct. At the same time she carries on a pleasant conversation and attends to every one of my concerns. She is a model examiner and care-provider.

Great Doctor
I have been to several plastic surgeons and dermatologists due to a issue I had with my upper lip. It just seemed that the problem was getting worse instead of better and then I came upon Dr. Ringpfeil who is a real blessing for me. Although I only had two laser treatments so far, I feel quite confident that Dr. Ringpfeil will be the one who will be able to help me with my ongoing pain and discomfort of my upper lip that I have been experiencing for a very long time.

I’ve seen Dr Ringpfeil for many years.
She does skin checks and the occasional cancerous lesion removals. She is thorough, professional and a good listener, willing to share other skin tips.

Acne Scars
I have been to Dr. Ringpfeil for acne scarring on my forehead and temples. She was spot on with her treatment recommendations and I am thrilled with the results. Is it 100%? No, but Dr. Ringpfeil was clear on what she could achieve. Not only does my skin look better, but it feels so much smoother. I am so appreciative of what she has done.Dr. Ringpfeil was very thorough pre- and post-treatment regarding the procedure, the risks, and care instructions. She talked to me through each procedure, asking me how I was doing. Dr. Ringpfeil cares about her patients and providing the best results with the right treatment.

COMPETENT, CARING AND CORDIAL
Dr. RINGPFEIL HAS TREATED ME FOR A MYRIAD OF ISSUES OVER MANY YEARS AND IN EVERY INSTANCE I HAVE BEEN IMPRESSED BY HER KNOWLEDGE AND COMPETENCE.Today, I saw her for my semi annual skin cancer check. As always, she was kind, respectful and thorough. And, as a result of her excellent treatment of a previous carcinoma, I graduated to annual follow-up!!! I must say,however, that I am somewhat sad that I will now be seeing her just once a year. That is because every visit with Dr.Ringfeil iis a pleasure. She is always cordial, concerned and anxious to insure that you have sufficient information to make a decision and she makes it clear that her recommendations are just that. She truly cares!! I have recommended Dr.Ringfeil to others and will continue to do so. And, last but not least, her staff is excellent in all respects.

I saw Dr. Ringpfeil today for my annual skin check. I can’t say enough good things about her. She is a very caring individual who makes a person feel immediately at ease and comfortable. Her office is run like a well oiled machine. She is prompt and efficient and the highest praise I can give her is that I have enormous trust in her.

I’ve been a patient of Dr Ringpfeil for maybe 7-8 years, highly recommended by my family doctor. First I was impressed about the office staff professionalism from greeting you at the entrance to taking you to the consulting room. All the good things I’ve heard about Dr. Ringpfeil prove to be true, a very devoted doctor, which care for his patients. I am so lucky to be a patient of Dr. Ringpfeil and her team!
