What I like best about Dr. Ridder is how well he explains what I need to know about my eyes and eyesore.

I’ve been a patient of VCS for many years; Dr. Ken Ridder is highly skilled and offers great care during my annual exams. The staff is friendly and very professional as well.

I really liked Dr. Ritter. He is personable. They got me in within an hour when I came down with my kid’s pinkeye & needed meds. He also checked my oil glands & notes from all my screen time due to my job I need to take action now before aiming down with dry eye in 20 years. I’m thankful for his atrnetion to details. I will absolutely recommend him to friends.

Dr. Ridder is top tier, exceptional. Extremely knowledgeable & professional. He is throrough, friendly, and explains the results of your exam completely & carefully so that one understands. I appreciate the time he takes to communicate—no rush out the door. And no hard sell for glasses or other treatments.

Dr Ridder is one of the nicest people I have ever met. He is a caring, compassionate doctor as well. He is very careful and thorough and takes extra time if needed to explain complex issues. I would highly recommend him!

We were contacted by the office and asked if we could come in earlier than our scheduled 4 PM appointment. I said yes and we were scheduled for 2:30 PM however we actually weren’t seen until 3:30 PM just a half an hour before our original appointment which was frustrating since we had parked at a meter and were running out of time. Dr. Ridder is a great eye doctor but the office staff needs to work on the scheduling.
