Dr. Hope Erica Ring, MD

She is so knowledgeable and takes her time. She has helped me in so many ways.

Dr. Ring and her team are the best. I have learned that her wait time is well worth it. The practice calls ahead and lets you know if she is running behind so you can plan accordingly! Who does that???!!! Its excellent! I always know I will get my time with her!

Dr. Ring truly takes her time with each and every patient. I really feel that she listens to me and cares about me

I do not mind waiting as i know i will have my time with her.

It was so nice to walk into an office where I was greeted with a "welcome to the practice". The front desk was full of smiles and walked me through what to do and more importantly to me explained to me why I was doing it. About 10 minutes went by and the door opened and a lovely MA called my name and again welcomed me to the practice and then introduced herself and what her role was. As she roomed me it was again explained what she was doing and why. The provider came in introduced herself and again welcomed me to the practice. Upon departure the front desk was still full of smiles, inquired on how my visit was and then asked if there was anything "we" could have done to improve upon the visit. WOW...was blown away. Besides offering a coffee and dessert bar, no my visit was fabulous! I actually can't wait to return...lol

When you are dealing with a loved one that is not doing well and everyone is frustrated it was nice to have a provider that truly cared. Cared for not only the patient, but for the family and what it is that they are going through. Thank you for acknowledging our fears and concerns. You gave some great tips and helped ease our troubled minds.

Thank you to the office staff for meeting my needs for an urgent appointment. You all made it seem like it was no problem at all and got me in and out quickly! From the moment you make contact and throughout the conclusion of the visit you are the best!

Dr. Ring recently left the Harrington Physician group in Sturbridge and joined the St. Vincent Physician Group in Charlton. So happy I followed! Same great staff that is always willing to help and does so with a smile. Dr. Ring takes the time to actually listen to what your saying and works with you!

Very caring physician so glad to join the practice

I have been seeing Sonja one of her Nirse Practitioners. She is caring, smart and compassionate. If she does not have the answer, she definitely does her research and promptly gets back to you! Never had a medical professional that did that. New office much cleaner and brighter than previous. Check on I would say was ok, not the friendliest staff. Mayra is wonderful!!! The only real complaint and why I gave 4/5 stars, very very long wait time. I understand they spend time with the patients but if that is a known practice, perhaps book like that. Really is inconvenient and when someone doesn’t feel good, they don’t want to sit in a room for long periods of time.

Dr. Ring does tend to run behind but that means that she takes her time with each and every patient. She never rushes me. She listens to me and helps work with me through every step.

Hope Ring is NOT one of those doctors that makes you feel like a cog in their profit wheel. She takes the time to really listen and validate your concerns. I feel so lucky to have chosen her as my new PCP.

I arrived as a first time patient to meet the doctor at 8:15 for a 8:30 appointment. I previously completed all information through a app on my phone to expedite the check in time. Was greeted professionally at the front desk when checking in. The doctor assistant who set me up in the room and did my vitals, took more medical information was very pleasant and professional! When she was finish she said the doctor would be in shortly. 41 minutes later and Doctor Ring never came in the room, I decided that this was unacceptable ( how do you fall behind your schedule at 8:30 in the morning) wasted a morning off from work and wasted time spent filling out info for a “quicker check in” I guess choosing Doctor Ring was wrong choice.

Dr. Ring is one of the most empathetic, truly caring Drs. I've ever had the pleasure to stumble upon. She absolutely never makes you feel rushed and is such a wonderful comunicator without ever being condescending. She is so encouraging without making you feel as if you failed if you missed a goal from one appointment to the next. Before I had insurance coverage and was paying out of pocket, I know she was charging me as little as was possible. It was her staff that pointed me in the right direction for my family to aquire affordable coverage. I find her the antithesis of what medicine has descended into these days. I would highly recommend Dr Ring.

I have been seeing this doctor for 6 or more years and she is the most down -to-earth physician I have ever come across. I am very happy with her and her nurse practicioner Darleen who is excellent. I worked for physicians most of my life and I can tell you she and Darleen are the most compasionate that I have ever seen.

She's been my doctor for almost 20 years and I love her.

Best doctor I have ever had!

Dr.Hope Ring is a brillant and caring doctor I have been with going on 13 yrs. She gives more even more input when you ask questions, she always knows what the problem is and if she doesn't she refers me too a specialist if necessary or orders the necessary test etc. too find out what is going on. She makes you feel as if your her top priority at all times and never rushes you out of the office. She is brilliant and has a way of making you feel so comfortable as if you were talking too your best freind. I highly recommend her too anybody that is for sure. I am so very lucky too have Dr. Hope Ring as my Primary Care Physician. In all these years she has never disappointed me about anything. I am so grateful for her, as I am a Senoir Citizen with a few health problem and she is right on top of them all of the time.
