Patient Reviews
Nov 11, 2020
Dr. Ritchlin has provided exceptional care to my boyfriend, Steve, for the past several years. We live over two hours away from his office in Rochester, but it is definitely worth the time to travel to the clinic there. After exhausting the service providers in our area, Utica, and Syracuse, we were fortunate enough to get an appointment with Dr. Ritchlin. He has continued to provide support and patience to my boyfriend and me despite Steve's many severe flares of his condition. We are truly thankful for the care provided by Dr. Ritchlin and feel relieved knowing that we can contact him at any time (literally) when we truly need his help. Thank you, Dr. Ritchlin. You have truly made a difference in our lives.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
