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've seen Dr. Rud many times over the years. He did two of my surgeries, and quite well. Always explains everything well and is reassuring ??

We saw him in the emergency room and he was awesome. My husband had a lateral subtaylor (sp) in his ankle that was very rare. He explained the procedure before & after. We were all very impressed w his expertise and knowledge.

I feel Dr. Rud did an excellent job with my surgery. He was patient when I told him I wished to have more questions answered and then made sure my questions were answered. He cared about me as a patient.
