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.

Dr. Ruenger is highly recommended!
Dr. Ruenger was thorough, knowledgeable, and helpful. It was refreshing to see a doctor with some experience.

Dr. Ruenger was thorough in his examination, answered my questions and dealt quickly with a minor problem I had. I was impressed enough to make my 1 year appointment with him. I have, in the past, had a squamous cell carcinoma and a basal cell carcinoma removed, so I take my skin health seriously. He also spoke with me about avoiding harmful sun exposure, an important step toward future avoidance of skin cancers. My late morning appointment was on time.

Dr. Ruenger was very personable, thorough and thoughtful. I found him to be very knowledgeable and he had a great, patient manner. I had no problem getting an appointment and he did not make me feel rushed at all. He answered all of my questions with concern and patience.

This doctor was on the cell phone in the exam room next to mine where i waited for him for an hour an a half to be seen from 2pm to 3:30 pm, he was heard by me talking about work unrelated stuff. There was a line of people in the waiting room. I got up got dressed and left without seeing him.
