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.

She is very easy to talk to and you don’t wait long for your appointment.

Horrible, non- empathic care.
Horrible. She was a competent Dr for my care for several years. Until the last visit where she decided to do a Uterine Biopsy in the office with no anesthetic. I never went back. I still cringe when I think of what she did.

Dr Ruhe is the Best!
I've been a patient of Dr. Hope Ruhe's for almost 28 years. She is always kind, gentle, thorough. I have always been seen on time and her entire office staff has been friendly, eager to assist me in any way. I highly recommend Dr. Ruhe. She is THE BEST!!

I love Dr. Ruhe. I’ve seen other reviews that state her office admin is rude but I never had that experience. Quite the opposite, actually. He was always very friendly and kind. I recently had my first baby and was impressed with how accommodating Dr. Ruhe was. She took her time answering my questions. Also- I was ALWAYS seen on time. This is hugely important to me.

She is horrible. I would call in with a problem, and her response was always "I don't know". She would call in a prescription for what she thinks it might be. You're not going to know what's going on if you don't ask the patient to come in. She would never have me to come into her office. I honestly don't think she cares. Listening and being nice alone does not make you a good Doctor. A good doctor is one who cares for the patient and wants to help. She didn't help me.

Dr Ruhe is wonderful. Now her office manager Larry is horrible,rude, and don't care about anybody. I have never experienced somebody so rude to talk to on the e phone till him. I remember my first time making a appointment he would not let me make a appointment without a credit card on file. Then after that he always question my insurance company I'm so sick of calling my ins company to ask questions for things he knows nothing about. He is horrible and doesn't speak clearly at all!!

Dr Ruhe is amazing! The only real problem is her office admin (I believe he is her husband). He is EXTREMELY rude!! Not sympathetic towards patients and possible problems they may be facing at all. Possibly the rudest man I've met.

The BEST GYN I have ever had. Easy to talk to, she listens and is calm. She made me feel at ease the very first visit. She calls you back herself with test results. Great Doctor !

Dr. Ruhe is a awesome doctor. She has a great bed manner. The only problem is her financial office worker. He is rude and doesn't work with you. He has no sympathy and is unapologetic how he treats patients.
