Carol Ritter

Dr. Carol Ann Ritter, MD

Obstetrics & GynecologyGynecologic Oncology

OVERVIEW

I am a professional and caring GYN in private practice in Towson, Maryland since 1987. Born in Green Bay, Wisconsin, I received my medical degree from the Medical College of Wisconsin. I completed my residency in OB/GYN in 1987 at The Greater Baltimore Medical Center. In 2004 I stopped delivering babies and now focuses on all aspects of gynecology including menopause, incontinence, fibroids, endometriosis, prolapse, and infertility. I am presently the Director of Women’s Minimally Invasive Surgery at GBMC and actively teach the Johns Hopkins GYN residents as well as keep the surgical staff updated with courses profiling the latest MIS technologies and techniques for the OR. I am politically active with organized medicine and women’s health issues. I was the 2012 President of the Baltimore County Medical Society. In response to the medical malpractice crisis in 2004, I directed and starred in a film called “If the Bough Breaks: the Medical Malpractice Crisis in Maryland”. (You tube: if the bough breaks). Currently, I co-hosts The Medical Hour, a one hour, weekly medical news and information show. I frequently travel to developing countries to deliver medical care to women who have never seen a gynecologist in their lifetime. I have been performing PAP smears and HPV testing on women in the mountains of Haiti for the last 5 years and am collaborating with the Mayo Clinic and IMA to follow up on treatments of the cervical cancers they diagnosed.

"Horrible experience. Dr. Ritter was uncomfortable that I quickly shared my medical history and let her know that my recent, internal bone pain was not due to a recent injury. I asked if my pain could be due to hormonal issues. She actually said " Well, since you seem to know what's wrong with you" and then proceeded to tell me how many years she has been in practice and that she never had anyone in her 38 years describe the pain I was experiencing. I Went to another doctor and she started me on a very low dose estradiol patch & progesterone micro capsule and -- what do you know -- my menopause side effects/ pain disappeared within 2 days. I've never had an interaction with a physician like I did with Dr. Ritter. Not only could she not identify a very typical symptom of menopause, but her condescending attitude might be a sign that it's time to retire after 38 years in practice. So disappointing and reflective of the current state of healthcare. "

"I picked Dr.Ritter because she was listed as a Polycystic expert-which I have. I think under it all, Dr.Ritter is intelligent but lacks care of empathy. She is fat-phobic, condescending and seems to have a mood disorder. I would have an appointment where I would come away feeling like the interaction was abusive and then at the next appointment she would be surprisingly pleasant.She assumed things about me without asking and minimized my symptoms saying they wouldn’t kill me. The last straw for me was when uterine bulging showed up on a pelvic ultrasound ordered by my endocrinologist and he referred me back to my Gyno. I had to call the office numerous times and sent over the imaging. I gave her the benefit of the doubt assuming it was a clerical issue, however after finally being able to speak to her, she indicated to me that she had no intention of calling me back because she did not order the imaging. Turns out its endometriosis and I’m now I am being treated by other provider. "

"When I went in she didn't give me the full information on a treatment because her words "I looked smart enough to figure it out." It doesn't matter how I look.. it is her job to give me all the information about the side effects of a treatment. She was super judgmental and I didn't feel comfortable with her. I did love her staff, they were extremely friendly and helpful. "

"Dr. Ritter has been my GYN for decades. She takes time during every visit to answer questions and make sure you understand each procedure. I would give her 6 STARS!"
