Dr. Douglas Rittenhouse, Obstetrician-gynecologist

"Delivered my daughter with this doctor 9 years ago. He was rude, my kids HR kept dropping during the contractions, I wasn't dilating and had irregular contractions. Instead of suggesting we do C section he made me walk with a Foley's balloon and my kid was born blue and weak. My kid needed years and years of therapy and I often wonder why he didn't tell us to do a c section instead. And the whole process with him was awful, he has no compassion, rude, cold."

"Dr. Rittenhouse was very kind, precise, and clear in answering all my questions. He was very accommodating and he took time to explain the different medical treatments. I really appreciated his professionalism and I am happy to be one of his patients."

"Dr. Rittenhouse is a very caring and compassionate doctor. He has taken care of me for the past 15 years. I won't go to anyone else. Dr. Rittenhouse is easy to talk to and has great rapport with his patients."

"He is very rude, no compassion. 2019 I was advised to see GYN the soonest by my PCP and Dr. Rittenhouse was available. His very rude demeanor and does not care how patient feels. Plus he performed additional procedure on me without explaining risk and benefits , no signature of consent prior, make things worst he performed the leep with NO local anesthesia. I screamed and very tearful because of so much pain and he did not even apologize but instead he said" thank you for being a sport" . Most Traumatic experience. very unprofessional After few days he called to report the bad prognosis result but instead of asking to make appt he discuss the result and forcing me to agree on the treatment that he wants with no compassion with patients feelings I felt so DISRESPECTED, MISTREATED and VIOLATED. filed grievance , but nothing happened."

"I’ve had several different gynecologists over the past 20 years, and Dr. Rittenhouse is by far the very best. He’s very knowledgeable and well experienced, he’s extremely and wonderfully thorough in his research and he clearly wants me to be completely aware of the facts while still being gentle and reassuring. He makes follow up calls just to check in if need be, and he’s impressively quick to respond to any emails or voicemails that I’ve left for him. He’s a very good listener and takes the time to thoroughly answer any questions that I might have, even if I ask the questions repeatedly. He has a lovely, cheerful and very helpful staff. I’d highly recommend Dr. Rittenhouse to anyone."
