Cannot necessarily speak for Dr Barth in the practice because I have never gone to him, but otherwise I have been a patient of Dr Ritters and Dr Fersons (now retired) for probably a decade and a half now. I worked in the dental field for several years under various doctors and so know all to well, as with any medical profession, the varying degrees of ehtics, professionalism, and cost there is and can be from one doctor to another. But it has been from the perspective as a patient of Dr Ritters that I have come to truley appreciate this man and his practice. Forced a time or two to seek dental services that were geographically and I thought consiquently cost effectively more feasible, it has never taken me long to realize that traveling to Dr Ritter's office no matter how far it was was well worth it. As a dentist, I have come to know Dr Ritter as a professional, very empathetic, and extremely gentle man who strives to work with you to find the most cost asnd time efficient "treatment plan" feasible. I believe that he can make going to the dentist for someone who is terrified to do so infinitely less scary and even possibly an somewhat pleasurable event . Thank you Dr Ritter for being someone who truely cares more about your patients and their care than you do about the money. I am forever your loyal patient and if ever you should retire I will quite simply have to find someone willing to put me out for every routine office procedure or quit going to the dentist. And just for general knowledge, it doesn't hurt that neither doctor is very hard to look at either.
