Great doctor! Really cares about his patients!

04/22/2026

One of the finest doctors I've ever had the privelege of coming across. He is a true gem. Since being under his care, he has caught my diabetes and afib and sent me to specialists. This has dramatically improved my overall health.

Always knows what's up to date about medical research stuff

03/03/2026

Dr. Ritsema was very kind and didn't make me feel rushed at all. He went above and beyond what I expected for my situation. I would highly recommend him to anyone. I would like to have him as my PCP, but I live an hour away and might find someone closer.

03/03/2026

We are working at the Keto diet and taking the D3 with K. Thank you for sharing that with me.

03/02/2026

Dr. Ritsema is outstanding doctor. He is kind and compassionate and stays abreast on the latest knowledge in his field. I feel very fortunate to have him as my primary doctor.

02/25/2026

Keep doing what you are doing !!1

02/25/2026

He’s the best! I appreciate the time he takes with me.

02/24/2026

Dr. Ritsema is the most down to earth and personable Dr. I've ever encountered. He's devoted so much time and energy over the years towards my care. He's truly an expert in his field and someone I deeply trust. I value his instruction and guidance in my health care needs and he always encourages me to pursue the healthiest version of myself.

02/24/2026

He gives positive feedback and good advice on my health and going forward

02/24/2026

He really cares about us being healthy & sharing options other than drugs if possible & he prays with us. His team is also great !

01/27/2026

Very caring and thoughtful, listens to my account of circumstances with sincere interest

01/26/2026

The sincere heartfelt caring is too much to describe. The fact that I am 72, you would think that the caring, the current status, the outlook for the future, would be just enough to sustain. But I was treated like I was in my 30's and I had a whole lifetime to go yet. I just cannot describe how thankful I am for Dr. Ritsema. It is NOT superficial. It is genuine from the heart.

01/22/2026

Excellent

01/21/2026

Dr. Peter Ritsema provides thoughtful, patient-centered care. He takes his time with every visit and never makes you feel like just another number. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a doctor who truly cares.

He is very willing to spend the time and make suggestions

01/14/2026

He always takes his time to make sure he answers all my questions. Very caring.

01/12/2026

I believe I have said it all! I'm looking for medical leadership and what I get is diet plan talk. It's important to have a good diet, I agree. However, when you are recovering as I did, recovering becomes the narrative!!! It's been that way from the beginning. Good guy, but not extremely knowledgeable from a medical perspective, in my opinion!

01/08/2026

Professional and very caringAnswered all my concerns

01/05/2026

Dr. Ritsema went above and beyond with making sure he answered all my questions and spent time with me making a game plan for my health! I appreciate all his time and insight!

Very good

12/10/2025

Dr Ritsema is an outstanding man. I can trust him. He listens to me and does not judge me. He takes the time to " dumb it down" for me to make sure I understand whats happening, or what I need to do, or why I need to take something.

11/26/2025

He is the best doctor! He is awesome and listens to me!!

11/24/2025

11/18/2025

My son, who is 40 years old and a high functioning autistic, also sees Dr. Ritsema and he is so kind and explains things very well to be. I told my son that Dr. Ritsema told me something very interesting at my appointment, and he said yes, he told me that too. So he is listening!

11/17/2025

A good doctor

11/17/2025

Dr. Ritsema is a very knowledgeable and caring physician.

10/01/2025

Pete was fantastic as always. Such a faithful primary care who always shows empathy, care and good counsel. I could not be more pleased.

09/30/2025

Marvelous

09/25/2025

Had to wait 45 minutes past my appt time.

09/25/2025

He has been my doctor for many years now and that's why I keep coming back because he's a great doctor.

09/23/2025

I think He did jump to conclusions prematurely when he said I would probably be on Eliquis for the rest of my life. That is his opinion and it might be true but I am hoping my emergency room doctor is correct in that my clot will clear and I will only be on Eliquis a short time. Who wants to be on this medicine for life?

09/18/2025

A caring Christian man and very carefull with my heath.

09/17/2025

This was a wellness exam. no one checked his blood pressure, temperature. Dr., no check reflexes or things like that. he looked at his ear because I requested it. He is a late-stage Alzheimer's patient. I brought him in due to being refused to renew his prescription because he had not had a Wellness exam, which was 3 weeks before his birthday. This was not Ritsima; he was on vacation. I care for him at home. A large part of the Trinity staff I have come in contact with, being his caretaker, treats him as a dead man walking. It is very sad. I will start looking for a new doctor, it was evident to me. We are not wanted as patients with Trinity Health. After all the years we've done business with you, now he's very ill, and when we need medical help more than ever, we get more attitude from the staff in Jenison than we get compassion or help. So, outside us both getting a flu shot, the total time the doctor spent with him was less than 10 min. So why was it so important we had this wellness exam? I was asked if there was anything else, I had already shut down wanting to refrain from saying things and being up set. So I just said no.

09/17/2025

Very knowledgeable

09/16/2025

My sister in law brought me and met Dr for first time, she was very impressed with his caring for me.

09/16/2025

Dr. Ritsema truly cares about not only your health but you as a person.

09/15/2025

Thorough, explanatory and gave time to a complete review.

08/28/2025

I love dr ritsema and he listens to me and he is a wonderful compassionate doctor!!!!!!

08/26/2025

Dr. Reitsma is 100% Great at his job! As is the Jenison staff. I would have appreciated more than the 15 mins he was limited to that day by the system as I was not able to directly address my prescription refill needs at that time. I have now addressed these questions via the MyChart

08/21/2025

It took 40 minutes of waiting in the exam room before he came in.

08/21/2025

professional, caring, took his time to address all my concerns.

08/20/2025

06/23/2025

Where to start. Dr. Peter Ritsema has been practicing excellence in heath care for our family since 1991. In our humble opinion, heath care practice should be modeled after this Physician. From physicals to routine heath care to specialized needs, even heart breaking loss of a family member. Always caring, compassionate, professional and thorough.

12/18/2024

Great Doc and Nurse,

12/18/2024

Dr. Ritsema was kind and compassionate. He could not possibly have known me as well as my primary physician. I very much miss the days when seeing one's primary physician when sick was the norm.

12/12/2024

I appreciated Dr. Ritsema genuinely answering all my questions and asking if I had any as we reviewed my lab and physical results.

12/11/2024

Only Dr.I've ever known that will take the time to say a prayer for me.
