Turns out that my problem may not be quite in Dr. Ralph's specialty. HOWEVER, he has made a strong effort to diagnose the problem. High marks.

Many reviews for this doctor feature five-star ratings across various platforms. However, it’s worth noting that his Yelp reviews have been deleted. As one of his patients, I believe there is a specific demographic that Dr. Ralph's services well, and I do not fit that bill. In my short time as a patient, I have often felt dismissed and not believed, despite having abnormal lab results. During a procedure, the doctor was abrupt and exhibited little to no bedside manner. I almost cancelled the procedure despite having travelled and waiting 2+ months for it. I agree with the lower ratings from 2020 that suggest this doctor should be retired. His efforts seem disingenuous, and he lacks empathy. He would have more malpractice cases against him if it were more accessible to do.
