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.

The procedure did nothing to help me. I was particularly disappointed of how I was treated on the follow up appointment having been rushed out the door and taking my money without any explanation of why it didn’t work for me. I felt like they knew the procedure would fail before we started.

Really liked him!
I am a new patient; I just saw him yesterday and I think he’s a great physician that genuinely cares. Does a wonderful job at explaining what is going on and the rationale. Super personable. As a nurse for the system, I have dealt with many different physicians and he is top tier. Highly recommend.

Great Doctor
I have seen Dr Ruane for several issues. Originally sent to him by my Orthopedic One hip surgeon. Very caring Dr and would do anything for a patient. Recently I had to have rotator cuff surgery and he sent me to an outstanding surgeon at Ortho 1. I would highly recommend Dr Ruane

Without Dr. Ruane I'd have to have a hip replacement....which I'm a caregiver and I don't know how I'd do that. He keeps me walking!!! Very accomodating and nice...he and his staff. I appreciate his care

Give me a steroid injection while I was pregnant, which I found out after the fact is a very big No-No! In addition, his support staff is completely unresponsive. Due to an accident, I was late one day. I called their office no less than five times, and no one picked up. When I arrived, I was told that they received so many calls that day that they put everything through to voicemail. Would not go back!

I had an appointment for severe back pain. Had both feet swollen at the time of my visit. He had me bend over to touch my toes. That was my exam...really? I went elsewhere and ended up having 2 discs in my back that just started bulging which is where the pain was coming from. However it was defected that I had blood clots in my lungs. Had Dr. RuAne the time to notice something that most any type of doctor would, maybe I could have caught the clots before they went to my lungs. Disappointed

Gave me a cortisone shot that did not hurt in the slightest, unlike a previous doctor.
