Always terrific!

Dr. Ranum is an amazing doctor, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had him as my physician for the past 36 years. He delivered all of my children and has been there for so many important moments in my life. He has always taken the time to explain things thoroughly, listen to my concerns, and show genuine care and compassion. He is truly one of a kind, and his dedication to his patients is exceptional. He will be deeply missed, and his departure is a tremendous loss for the clinic. I will miss him more than words can express. Thank you, Dr. Ranum, for 36 wonderful years of outstanding care!

Dr. Ranum is everything a physician should be. He is caring, knowledgeable, intuitive, thorough and provides exceptional care while never making appointments feel rushed. His experience, caring manner, expertise, kindness, humor and gift for connecting with people is truly special. After 35 years as my PCP there is no one I would trust more with my care. Being able to trust that my doctor has great understanding of my medical history and understands me as a person brings a level of comfort to medical care that is difficult to come by. Nothing but grateful for him.

Attentive to details

Aug 20, 2026

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Ranum. I’ve been his patient for over 30 years, and there is truly no one I would trust more with my care. He is everything you hope for in a doctor—knowledgeable, thorough, compassionate, patient, and genuinely invested in the people he cares for. He listens. He never makes you feel rushed or dismissed, and he takes the time to figure things out, even when you show up with something a little unusual! 😊 After more than three decades, he knows me incredibly well, and there is such a comfort in having a doctor who knows your history and truly knows you as a person. His combination of experience, intuition, kindness, and humor is something very special. I feel incredibly fortunate to have had him as my doctor for all these years. Thirty-plus years of consistently exceptional care says more than any five-star review ever could. He is simply the absolute best, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly.
