In patients' words
"Dr. Riggenbach is a very competent and thorough physician. Unfortunately, his front office staff is very incompetent. Trying to get a call back in a timely manner won't happen..."
— Healthgrades patient review (Dr. Charles Riggenbach)"Terrible! His receptionist at Crestview office is RUDE. Dr. Ringel doesn't explain anything. If you ask questions he presents attitude like you're wasting HIS time."
