5.0 star star star star starDr Ring is so kind and knowledgeable. She takes her time to listen to what your needs are. I absolutely love the integrative approach. I'm so sick of regular doctors trying to throw medicine at you to cure everything that is not how everyone wants to be cured. I have been suffering for years because regular primary doctors refuse to look at a natural approach. Regular doctors are only allowed 15 minutes per patient. Dr ring takes the time to really listen to what your needs are. For once she is a doctor that focuses on your actual health and not the profit for the hospital and the top presidents, VP's etc of the company.

5.0 star star star star starI absolutely love Dr. Ring. She is extremely thorough and it’s clear that she cares about her patients. I am so appreciative of her and all that she has done to help me with my health journey. My only feedback for her would be that I think it would be helpful if she took some time at the end of each appointment to ask if the patient had any questions for her. I often come prepared to my appointments with many questions and oftentimes feel rushed through my appointment (we just have a lot to talk about). That’s all! Dr. Ring is truly the best!

5.0 star star star star starDoctor Ring listened to everything I said. Wanted to know about my lifestyle first so she knew how to help me moving forward. She didn't just listen to my symptoms and try to prescribe me a drug that has a lot of side effects she listened to me, how my body responds 2 food or supplements and that I want to be on supplements not medicine unless absolutely necessary.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Melinda Ring is by far the best doctor I have ever had. She is thorough, exceptionally knowledgeable, and provides valuable suggestions regarding nutrition, treatment options, testing, and routes to pursue with my health. She is responsive via MyChart which I really appreciate, since patients in her dept are not able to speak to their doctors via phone. She is also very kind, empathetic, understanding and easy to talk to. I am so grateful she is my doctor!
