I read all the other ratings for Dr.John R...They are all right on the money...I can't add a word as he is a great doctor and on the ball doctor as well and we are lucky to have him here...He is from the USA and yet picked here to work...My wife is from Boston and he could tell as she asked him if he was from MA as well...Pleased to give him a rating as he earned it...

Dr Ritter, now with Palliative Care, is very knowledgeable and caring. When he entered our home, it was as if an angel had entered to guide and help us. What a wonderful person!

I remember seeing Dr. Ritter when I was 12 weeks pregnant and bleeding profusely. I was so scared. He was great, very warm and comforting. He found the baby's heartbeat, even though it was really early in my pregnancy, and assured me that all was a-ok.

Very helpful, knowledgeable, and a very caring, compassionate physician. Excellent bedside manner! I wish he had a private practice, I would like him to be my family doctor. He is the best ER doctor I have ever encountered in the emergency department! If only all emergency doctors could be like him! I hope he reads this, he deserves this praise! I also hope all the other emergency room doctors in Sydney read this too, most of them could learn from Dr. Ritter, such as how to be compassionate and caring towards patients. And also addressing patients problems and being more knowledgeable about their problems instead of hurrying them out of ER and treating them like a number, not a person.
