Richard J. "Dick" Ryter M.D.

It's still hard for me to believe he is gone...Being an employee for Dr. Ryter was a dream..I always felt like he was not only my boss, but a good friend. No matter the situation...I always felt like I could speak with him. Dr. Ryter, I'm sure, overheard a lot of "juicy" conversations from us...He was so quiet, all of a sudden, there he was! I know this sounds weird, but he had this one pair of shoes that squeeked..so we knew he was close...:) I finally told him one day,...

I miss Dr.Ryter. I think of him often. Dick was my primary care physician, also my friend and confidant. We shared many stories about out lives. He was truly a brilliant man and proficient at many skills. When we were setting up his pre Coastal Medical office in Harmony, RI; I wanted to install an overhead music sound system in the office. Although we did not have the funds to do what I proposed. He told me that he knew of a way to do that cheaply. So he connected the speakers that I bought...

Dick was my primary care physician and my friend. I very much miss is attention to my healthcare needs and the personal chit-chats we had during my visits. I had the pleasure to work with Dick to setup the Harmony office when we developed a trusting friendship as well. Dr Ryter was a great guy and I think of him often. Ron Girouard

Still remember a great person

Best boss ever. Always a place in my heart...

A very good man and doctor....he is not forgotten.

Marsha, Amy and family,
Not a day goes by that Dr. Ryter isnt in our thoughts. Not only did he save my father's and grandfather's lives but my mother, Robin, was also his M.A. for 24 years. He wasnt just her boss, Dr. Ryter was a friend to our family. Whether it was coming to a family shower or wedding, the Ryter family was always there. Thank you for sharing him with us all. Dr. Ryter was a genuinely amazing man. Absolutely loved his family and was always chatting about Jack...

Will always remember Dr Ryter. The best. Hope his family and grandchildren he loved are all well

Dr Ryder was an excellent doctor. I owe my life to him for an early lung cancer diagnosis. I am sure my previous doctor would have missed the tumor. I was diagnosed with pneumonia and after the antibiotics felt fine, but Dr Ryder sent me back for a follow-up xray just to be sure. It revealed stage 1 lung cancer. When I thanked him for saving my life, he modestly replied "Sometimes you get lucky." I had invited him out on my sailboat after my surgery, but our schedules kept conflicting. So...
