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!
