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.

HE IS YOUR GUY
I was so frightened to see Dr Ruffo, he was wonderful. Made me comfortable, he was so informative and I appreciated so much, how he took the time to explain things to me. His staff were wonderful, they warned me about the wait ahead of time ,which is very considerate. If I ever need anything done HE AND HIS STAFF ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE FOR ME ! Love them

Dr. Ruffo is top notch - highly recommended
My brother has had two surgeries with Dr. Ruffo and his experience has been incredibly good. Dr. Ruffo has followed up with careful monitoring and has been a good communicator about the procedures and the outcomes. He is a truly compassionate and dedicated doctor.

Worst experience ever
The worst medical experience I ever had. Was very rushed, consultation appointment took 5min and half of time he was in the doorway ready to leave, and was overcharged for procedures that he completed in 1 minute just so that he can charge me for it. No advice, no consultation - worst worst worst experience by far.

I was extremely sick & could not have been in better hands. Dr. Ruffo is efficient & extremely thorough and I was very grateful to have found such a competent doctor & staff to be with me during such a difficult time in my life. I have nothing but praise for Dr. Ruffo, from the way my family was treated to the many visits it took for me to be well, he was always there with a smile and a very detailed explanation. I had a hell of an experience, and I am so glad he is still looking out for me!
