BEWARE! Of this group, especially Mr. Ryan Ritchie, he is good with colds/flu and annual physicals, but HORRIBLE with anti-depressants, anti-anxiety drugs, and sleeping pills (HIGHLY POTENT DRUGS). He prescribed me various drugs for acute anxiety/depression, i.e. xanax, ambien, lunesta, and temazepam, which had TERRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS, such as making my body extremely HOT/COLD, when I asked him why, he said that he did not know, then stated, ""What do you want to do now? I came to him for his medical knowledge and expertise, and he's asking me what to do? Go figure! He was negligent, in that he did not give me INFORMED CONSENT! California law provides that all patients--yes, that is we=people are entitled to INFORMED CONSENT, in a nutshell to be advised of what he are being prescribed, what the medications are designed to do, how they work, what are the COMMON SIDE EFFECTS-which can be permanent and irreversible, and our right to accept or refuse treatment! Mr. Ritchie did not fulfill this standard at all, all he did was see me for a few minutes, then wrote up a prescription for disaster and sent me on my way and stated, ""Call me in 4- weeks for an appointment!! BEWARE!!
