Reviews for R. August Ritter III, MD

Adam Morton

Great Dr. Explains things very thoroughly and clearly. And takes time to listen.

Marilee Noland

Dr. Ritter gave me my life back. He did my hip replacement surgery last month, and I am pain-free now. Only one month post op and I have full range of motion, freedom of movement, no pain in my hip, and I'm back to being active. I am SO grateful!!!

David Cantrell

I was really hurting with what I was afraid was a DVT in the stump of my amputated leg….it was BAD. Doc Ritter got me into his office for evaluation then straight into the hospital immediately following. I’m on the mend and have doc and his great staff to thank for it.
