Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Few like him
Dr. Ruggles is one of the few amazing doctors left… he is on schedule always helpful and explaining everything. Great attitude all the time him and his staff. I feel so confident on his knowledge bc he actually takes the time to explains to us why, what, because. I recommend him to any parent with my eyes closed.

The best Doctor in the whole world
Dr. Ruggles, you don't need the 5 stars for reviews, because he was born with his 5 stars, just as you don't need many words to describe what he is like, with just one enough (the best doctor in all the descriptions we can use). My family and I are more than grateful for helping and caring for my daughter. But as you once told me (First God and then Science) Amen Family Of S F:) Thank you!

Compassionate and Caring
On Nov 1, 2022, My 9 year old son fell at school and fractured his humerus bone. I saw a specialist and didn't agree with his decision and asked for another opinion. I met Dr. Ruggles and he made my son and I feel confident and hopeful that everything would be okay. Not only had my son fractured his arm but while doing x-rays they saw that he also had a unicranial cyst that went from his shoulder to his elbow. Dr. Ruggles and his team were able to remove 100% of the cyst and place 2 titanium rod's and synthetic marrow and calcium inside his arm. I'm truly thankful for him allowing God to use him as a tool to help heal our babies. We need more doctors like him and I'm overjoyed with my son's outcome????

Our daughter cut her hand severely in an accident while on vacation. Dr. Ruggles took care of her the night we took her to the emergency room. He was very thorough while examining the severity of her injury. Also in the explanation of how to help her regain full use of her hand and fingers. He preformed surgery on her and was great about explaining each step of the surgery to my husband and I. We knew she was in the right hands. It has now been about a year since her surgery and she has full use of her hand and every finger. We feel blessed Dr. Ruggles was there for our daughter.

My daughter literally shattered both lower bones, her ankle and her growth plate in left leg in a bike accident. Dr. Ruggles repaired those bones and the growth plate and her healing time has been awesome! He has just removed screws already as well. He is thorough, thoughtful of the patients needs. He is an excellent doctor and I highly recommend him to anyone with a child who needs surgery from the best. Especially when the situation seems bleak.
