GYN Ringhoffer Carolyn MD

"Absolutely DO NOT recommend! I went to her today for an annual checkup and she was absolutely disrespectful and violated patient confidentiality while I was in the room. She asked me how many sexual partners I have had and when I told her she said “oh wow that’s a lot” When is fact it really isn’t for my age but regardless a doctor should NEVER said that to anyone let alone their own client and proceeded to make fun of me for it…. I also chose not to get on birth control for my own personal reason and she tried to guilt trip me and talked bad about people who were not on birth control. I then asked other people who I know if they went to her and they did not like her because she was also rude and disrespectful. This doctor should not be licensed."

"*sighs* Dr. Ringhoffer was my doctor for all five years of college, 2017-2022. I must say, I miss her dearly as I have moved to a new state. She made feel like she genuinely cared for me. In 2020, my face was breaking out extremely and she prescribed me medicine to help combat the breakouts which gave me really clear skin. Back in 2021, the worse happened to me and Dr. Ringhoffer admitted me to the hospital which saved my life. She came visit me when I did not have any family in town, she made sure they provided me with new clothes and that I was comfortable. To say she was my OBGYN, i told her everything and went to her for everything. You would think she was my primary care physician. I miss her and her staff. They always were able to fit me in for an appointment the same day or next. I have never felt that comfortable, that safe. with any other healthcare provider. If you are looking for someone who will be honest with you even when its hard to hear but its best for you, I strongly suggest her as your future OBGYN."

"Do not recommend. This provider needs to seek some health equity and cultural competency training when engaging patients, especially persons of color. Receiving a positive pregnancy test is a sensitive time for all birthing persons. & there’s no instance by which initial questions posed by a provider is “do you know the baby’s father?”. It should be “how are you feeling, these are the next steps, etc”—but not with Dr. Ringhoffer. Then when you seek to transfer care you’ll receive a direct call from her in a condescending tone stating this “I just received the release of medical records, this hurts our feelings, etc.” . Really? If you delivered patient centered care with an equitable focus maybe just maybe you’d retain patients and reduce adverse pregnancy outcomes. SEEK CARE ELSEWHERE."

"I was so nervous finding a new obgyn after recently moving to Mobile. Dr. Ringhoffer and her office exceeded my expectations. She was warm, kind and made me feel so comfortable. She took her time to listen to my concerns and was thorough. I am so happy I found her!"

"Dr. Ringhoffer is amazing. She explained everything in great detail. She was very caring and compassionate about my situation. Her staff was excellent! They were friendly, helpful, and had smiles on their faces!"
