Bringing the doctor and patient relationship back.

I believe patients deserve to always be at the center of what I do as physician. The health stories you bring, the challenging, and the happy ones, inspire me to keep doing what I do. Preserving that relationship is the reason for a major change in the way I practice medicine.

I am excited to announce my personalized private practice and invite you to join me.


AlereMD is the new standard in primary care in the Heights. No more phone trees or call centers. No more rushed visits.

I love Dr Rismyhr. He’s always cheerful, kind, and attentive. He listens closely to my concerns and proposes treatment with me as an individual in mind. I never feel like I’m just a number, just another patient to him. He’s helped me in many ways.

Dr. Rismyhr is fantastic. He always listens fully to any concerns or issues and takes the time to address them all. He also explains everything well and is very knowledgeable. He has an excellent bedside manner and seems to genuinely care about his patients and their health.

Excellent PCP in every way, I highly recommend him.

I’m so very happy I found Dr. Rismyhr to be my Primary Care doctor. He is everything you would want in a doctor. He was very caring, concerned and compassionate about my health. He listened to what I needed to have a better quality of life and prescribed it to me.

Dr. Rismyhr has done an excellent job treating my husband for a variety of issues. He is very smart, very professional and his referrals to other disciplines are spot on. He’s very good at getting things done at the visit instead of putting things off to “wait and see.” I highly recommend him.

Unnecessary prescribing has come under scrutiny lately. Often prescriptions are handed out without a definitive end point, and simply get refilled for years on end, long past their original time of utility.

Doctors have the obligation to determine when a prescription is truly needed. On top of that, if a drug is indicated, the minimum effective dose principle must be applied.

At AlereMD, a careful assessment of current prescription drugs and supplements is done on every patient, and a careful plan for desprescribing applied when it makes sense. Simplify your treatment plan for good.
