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 HAVE BEEN SEEING DR RUTMAN FOR MANY YEARS AND HIS STAFF HAVE BEEN VERY ATTENTIVE AND HELPFUL, I LIKE THAT THEY ANSWER THEIR PHONES OR RETURN YOUR CALL. DR RUTMAN HAS ALSO BEEN HELPFUL IN MY MEDICAL CARE AND ALWAYS ABLE TO SEE AT LAST MINUTES FOR UNEXPECTED ISSUES, HIS BEDSIDE MANNER HAS ALWAYS BEEN PLEASANT AND HE LISTENS. HE IS STRAIGHTFORWARD AND TELLS YOU WHAT MEDICAL ADVISE IS GOOD FOR THAT INDIVIDUAL. I AND MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS ALSO SEE HIM.I RECOMMEND HIM AND HIS STAFF AS A PLACE TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR MEDICAL CARE.

Worst bedside manner ever!! Condescending and sarcastic responses. Misdiagnosed a serious condition and didn’t even run tests. Does not follow up after blood panel to go over any outlining conditions or concerns. Lacking any empathy as well. Switching Drs. Time to retire. I would give 0 stars if possible. However the staff is very nice.

I have a rare autoimmune illness called Sarcoidosis. He didn't run any of the proper tests to detect sarcoid. In fact, He didn't even believe that I was ill regardless of my biopsy results. In his office was a card making fun of the mental ill. I've seen many doctor since my diagnosis and he wins the prize as the worst doctor I've ever had the displeasure of meeting. Do yourself a favor and seek another doctor.
