Dr. Jessica Ritch is a rare breed who takes the time to explain everything. She is well versed in every aspect of her profession despite her young age. I had a hysterectomy done robotically by her and all I can say is that I am so thankful it was done by her. I am recovering well and feel that her guidance in what to expect was excellent. Her pleasant attitude, great knowledge, and confidence in what she does made my experience the best it could be under the circumstances. The Aventura Hospital was surprisingly clean, lovely and well staffed. The anesthesiologist Dr. Rahmani was the absolute best! Dr. Ritch is moving her office to Hollywood......and as long as she stays in Florida....I will follow her!
