Suggestion. The doctor was very thorough and informative and helpful. However the sheer amount of information was too much to retain even a couple hours after the appointment. It would be very useful to receive an after visit summary. With next steps and an actual summary of what was discussed. Right now my after visit summary on "My Chart" has zero useful information .

The doctor is exceptional. Listens very well and asks probing questions related to the disease and medication. Her skill has helped me enormously. My disease was quite serious when I first saw her; I was quite sick and substancially incapasitated. She reviewed the records thoroughly and found problems in previous testing that other doctors had either not recognized or ignored. She ordered highly specialized tests and prescribe medication that she frequently updated based on my progress with the treatment. Presently my disease is stable because she monitors me closely. I am grateful to have found highly qualified doctors at SJPP who have developed plans of care for me that have effective. Dr Rettinger is one of the best.

Excellent provider, caring and informative. I don't normally get a call back from the office about bloodwork because we usually cover it in my next visit. Grateful for Dr Rettinger as she responds to my MyChart questions in a timely manner too.
