This Doctor TODD RIDKY - rude, condescending, disrespectful, heartless, no bedside manners, dismissive, inattentive, insensitive, derogatory, arrogant, insults patients, the sheer lack of empathy and compassion and unprofessional conduct -- violates legal ethical standards, and should not be practicing medicine. I'm actually addressing him, preferably just by his name TODD RIDKY because he doesn't even deserve to be called a "Doctor". Physicians take an oath before medical license. It serves as a moral foundation holding physicians accountable to high standards of integrity, compassion, and respect for human life. Unfortunately, Todd Ridky failed on all aspects of this moral framework for ethical practice. He failed to listen and understand my health condition, left too many unanswered questions. Failed to resolve medical questions and concerns, don't have a treatment plan/therapy for my existing specific medical diagnosis. He didn't even bother to evaluate my chart. I was distraught when Todd Ridky made inappropriate comments regarding my uterus. And mind you, I was with my husband during this office visit, and at this point -- my husband felt agitated and disgusted. Todd Ridky makes you feel miserable, uncomfortable, and he's incompetent. This person acts like he doesn't want to be there, so why is he even allowed to see patients if this is the kind of unprofessional behavior he's exhibiting towards patient care? Where is the high-quality standard of clinical care that Penn Medicine is offering???? He dismisses his fellow clinicians' professional track record and expertise, and is overall pompous! This presumptuous behavior, jumping to conclusions without adequate testing, and overstepping professional boundaries, warrants disciplinary action. This is explicitly WRONG and UNACCEPTABLE! I'm writing to forewarn future patients to remember his name and I strongly do not recommend him at all. Too many red flags and he exhibits characteristics of an inept doctor--distinct lack of aptitude in medical care. A doctor who fails to take proper care or reasonable care and lacks moral principles is negligent. And you don't want to be in a position where you end up compromising your health. Here's the thing, Penn Medicine Health System prides itself and is renowned for providing high-quality standards on research, education, and clinical care. So my question is, how come you have somebody like Todd Ridky working in this health institution that doesn't even possess an ounce of what the brand stands for? He blatantly goes against the mission and vision of this health institution. I need an explanation as to WHY????
