Dr. David Zvi Ritvo, MD

Dr. Ritvo took on a very difficult case of my daughter who was diagnosed at age 5 with Tourette Syndrome. Such a young diagnosis is unusual and we were turned away from a number of doctors who didn't feel they could manage medicine for someone so young. We did, in fact, try school without meds for some time, but it became progressively worse. We found Dr. Ritvo when my daughter was 7 and he was a godsend. He did a lot of research and through a bit of trial and error fairly quickly came up with a safe and winning combination of meds. He continued to see my daughter through high school and she loved him. He was always kind and supportive, always had the most recent research to adjust medication as needed, and offered great, intelligent, sound advice.

Dr David Ritvo told me not to bother getting my daughter prepared for college because she would never graduate. He also didn't warn her that a medication he was putting her on might reduce her white blood cell count. She became very ill. He was a horrible doctor. Arrogant and useless in getting the family to a better place. DO NOT WASTE your money. Regardless my daughter did gratuade with a Phd and an MD NO thanks to DR Ritvo!

This is an excellent doctor. My child really likes his time with Dr. Ritvo and seems to get a lot out of it. Dr. Ritvo takes his time in explaining medications and their side effects. He involves the patient and parent in the decision on medication.
