I was sent from CMH because they were out of surgical tubing to remove my gallbladder. I'm glad I was referred to Dr Ritter. I had never met him but felt totally comfortable after talking to him and trust him much more than anyone at CMH. He was very professional and I trust him 100%.

Providence is continuing to improve. The new ER, using the same version of Epic software as St. Vincent's and Portland Providence, newly acquired imaging equipment and smoother scheduling. There is much to commend your hospital as a facility, and those practice there.
