Reviews
I find Melinda is very comprehensive and helpful in our visits.
I am so glad that I'm working with Dr. Ring. I feel she's a great listener and conservative in her approach but extremely informative. I am so impressed with the summary's and guidance she has provided.
I love Dr Ring! I look forward to our appointments every time. She’s very thorough and makes me feel comfortable that I can ask her anything. I’m lucky to have her as my dr.
