Patient Reviews
Mar 23, 2024
Last year I started having horrific symptoms and was in and out of the hospital. Dr. Ritsema took me on as an emergency case and after diagnosing my IBD, prescribed me just the right treatment (on the very first try) to keep it in check. I am in remission now thanks to her, and so incredibly thankful for her prompt and expert care.
