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.

I highly recommend Dr. Ruiz. He is very outgoing and friendly, he takes the time to answer all of your questions. He is a very caring physician.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Ruiz?
Very nice but no follow through or proper script could be obtained from imaging center for biopsy. No effort or help from staff was received and the notes stated they did not have my records and could not provide codes or further instructions. (I presented all copies for first consultation). Multiple calls to no avail. Records about Dr online had various discrepancies. Will not return or trust treatment. Waste of time. It's been over three weeks and still nothing. Found new Dr for surgery.
