Dr. Eva Ritvo Makes Change by Being Kind

MIAMI - Amzeal -- Trending worldwide is a feature article about Dr. Eva Ritvo in VoyageMIA magazine. A psychiatrist practicing in Miami for over 30 years, she is a caring therapeutic professional, writer and philanthropist. She is also an ongoing columnist in the Beverly Hills Courier. Dr. Eva's most recent book, Bekindr: The Transformative Power of Kindness, shares stories about sixty-four random acts of kindness and was written with the intention of inspiring others to act in a kinder fashion. She believes that a simple act of kindness can go a long way to make life better for both the giver and the receiver.

The book shares many of the challenges Dr. Eva has faced in her own life and the role kindness has played. Her father had major health issues when she was growing up and eventually received a heart transplant. Miraculously, he survived until 10 days after his 90th birthday! She is also the mother of two daughters. Her first daughter, Joy, was born with Cerebral Palsy and had brain surgery at age 5, which led to additional complications. Divorced when her children were 13 and 17, she left a thriving career in academic medicine to open a private practice to better care for her family. In 2020, COVID-19 dramatically changed her life again. Dr. Eva stated, "Reflecting back, these multiple challenges have made me stronger, wiser, and more independent. Each issue has taught me so much, and I am better able to help my patients and all those around me because of the many lessons I have learned."
