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.

Outstanding, compassionate physician
I want everyone to know what a great doctor I had for my surgery. Dr. Theresa Ruddy got me through a very difficult time during my recovery and I credit her with saving my life! She is the kind of doctor we all wish we could have because she has a no-nonsense, yet compassionate approach to patient care. Understanding pain, the need for improving quality of life in her patients, and her knowledge and expertise in her area of specialty earned her my upmost respect. I would give Dr. Ruddy more than 5 stars if I could. Thank you, Dr. Ruddy!!

Dr. Ruddy is my angel and my life saver. I swear the first time we met when she opened the door to enter the exam room, she was wearing a hailo that lite up the whole room. Because of her professionalism I trust her with my life completely. Today I am so divisated because she is no longer an associate with the E. Syracuse Colon Recal Assoc. I only hope I can locate her in her new place of business. I will follow her to the end of the earth. I owe my life to Dr. Ruddy.

Terrible bedside manner and incredibly condescending. Her partners are much more pleasant. I would not recommend her to anybody!

Dr. Ruddy is a true breath of fresh air in the midst of so many physicians who seem so rushed and disconnected with patients. She has a genuine compassion, and treats you with kindness and a sincere desire to help. She listens and respects your own thoughts (and fears) without judgement of any kind. She was able to quickly diagnose an extremely painful condition I have been living with for years, that no one else seemed to grasp. I can't say enough positive things about her.
