Dr. Ridinger has been my primary physician since around 2014. She always has my physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing uppermost in her mind during our appointments. She keeps up with the latest internal medicine trends and has an upbeat manner.

Dr. Ridinger listened to my concerns especially regarding some changes in my meds that caused me to experience some really bad emotions. She listened to me and we made a plan to start back at a reduced amount and go up from there as needed.
