The above describes the doctor. He is so engaged, thorough, caring and knowledgeable.

In all honesty, Dr. Ribiero has the best bedside manner of any doctor I've visited...ever. I've never felt rushed; he listens actively, explains things thoroughly without speaking down to me; he's open to proposed options, explaining the pros and cons; he took the time to review lab results with me and, even though they were normal, he explained what I should look for and why.

Reviewed on Mar 14, 2024

Dr. Ribeiro is the best doctor I have ever seen. He was so nice, listened to my symptoms, wanted to help me, educated me on my test results and explained his decision to me on why he came to his conclusion. He personally walked me to the scheduler and made sure I was taken care of. I wish he could be my primary doctor and that more doctors were like him.

Dr Ribeiro is wonderful. He is both knowledgeable & shows concern for his patients. He always answers all questions & explains things well. Our family feels so blessed to find both a doctor & a Hospital that are studying & treating the horrid Sarcoidosis to the best of their ability. It was very scary before seeing Dr Ribeiro to always be told by our other doctors that they have NEVER treated a patient with Sarcoidosis. We are at the right place now & have found the best doctor!
