In an era where science is not scientific, Dr. Retherford is a doctor who will help you navigate the myriads of articles saying what you should and shouldn't do. He reads the research and explains it carefully to you. He won't push unnecessary tests or medications. He prefers to treat the "whole" patient, not just the symptoms. We need more doctors like Dr. Retherford.

See all of the above. You are not just a patient to Ralph. You are his friend. He takes time to get to know you and CARES about YOU and what meds you are taking and should or should not be taking. He truly has your best interest at heart. If he tells you something believe him. If your looking for a great Doctor look no farther. Ralph is the best. I've been his patient for 3 years.
