Patient Reviews
Sep 06, 2024
Dr. Ringwald became my rheumatologist in 2004 when Dr Sanders left. I was in very poor physical health following an heart attack and full of inflammation. Und e her care I was able to re t urn to work and retired at 74 . She is so dedicated. She personalizes your care and interacts with other doctors to integrate your care. She and my cardiologist are my heros. Many of my family members have transferred to her care.
