Stage 4 cancer

I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and underwent three years of heavy chemotherapy. When my oncologist told me there was nothing more he could offer, a friend referred me to Dr. Ritchey. Her integrative approach, including IV treatments to help offset side effects, proved more effective than my previous treatments and allowed me to continue working. Thanks to Dr. Ritchey and her care, I have been able to spend five additional precious years with my family, for which I am deeply grateful. Her care has been the main reason my cancer is under control today.

Breast Cancer

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, my world was turned upside down. I came to Dr. Ritchey on my sister’s recommendation, though I was initially unsure since I had never seen a naturopathic doctor before. From the very beginning, Dr. Ritchey was incredible. She treated me as a whole person, listened closely to my fears and concerns, and prescribed naturopathic remedies to boost my immune system, reduce stress, and prepare me for surgery. Despite my diagnosis, I have never felt healthier. Dr. Ritchey combines deep knowledge and research with genuine care and respect, making her an exceptional provider.

Stage 4 uterine cancer

We found Dr. Ritchey online and were promptly seen for a consultation. I was reluctant to start chemotherapy right after my diagnosis of stage 4 uterine cancer. After talking with her and coming up with a supportive natural care plan, I felt comfortable starting chemotherapy. My progress was carefully monitored, and my cancer is in remission. Dr. Ritchey worked well with my oncologist. I am doing very well and owe much to both of my doctors. I am very satisfied with Dr. Ritchey’s professionalism and plan to continue my treatment with her.

Side effects of chemotherapy

I wasn’t feeling well and came to Dr. Ritchey to find out why I had no energy. At the time, my fatigue was so severe that I could barely walk to the exam room. Through diagnostic testing, we discovered that I had cancer—I honestly thought I was just dealing with lingering illness or long COVID.  Dr. Ritchey acted quickly, helping to fast-track my care and connect me with imaging and oncology. The IV treatments she provided helped reduce the side effects of chemotherapy. I'm now on the road to recovery, and she continues to monitor me for recurrence using testing through Natera, allowing for early detection and peace of mind.

Colorectal cancer

I had been dealing with back pain for several months and assumed it was from overworking my body. Dr. Ritchey encouraged me to get a colonoscopy, which led to the discovery of colorectal cancer. She supported me through the entire process—helping me find both a surgeon and an oncologist. After surgery, I thought the cancer was gone.  However, thanks to ongoing monitoring with Signatera testing, we discovered that cancer cells still remained in my body. Since the cause wasn’t clear, a PET scan was ordered, which revealed the cancer had metastasized to my liver—despite having no symptoms at all.  We’re now working on a treatment plan for the cancer in my liver. Because of the close monitoring, we were able to detect and begin treating it much earlier than we would have otherwise. I’m incredibly grateful for Dr. Ritchey’s thorough, proactive care.

Early-stage breast cancer

I was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer eight years ago. Through regular consultations, Dr. Ritchey helped me develop a personalized protocol to support my body through surgery and chemo. Together, we addressed the emotional challenges through treatment.

Since the beginning of my cancer diagnosis and all throughout my cancer journey, Dr. Ritchey has given me so much hope and compassion through the most difficult and emotional time of my life. She gently guided me to make all the right decisions and helped me find a balance between Western medicine and holistic healing.

I went in hoping she could heal me solely holistically due to the knowledge of all the side effects. Through personalized consultations and thoughtful guidance, Dr. Ritchey empowered me to embrace complementary therapies alongside conventional treatments.  She is the reason for the mild side effects through all my chemo treatments and gave me peace in a time of complete uncertainty.  In the nurturing embrace of Dr. Ritchey’s care, I found strength, resilience, and a renewed sense of hope on the path towards healing.
