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.

The best Dr.
I have been seeing Dr. Ruiz for a few years now and I love her bedside manner and she listens to what you have to say . I wouldn’t want any other doctor .

I moved to the tri-county area three years ago. I was very concerned about finding a rheumatologist here after being cared for with Piedmont Hospital, Georgia. I loved my doctor there. She was excellent. And so is Dr. Ruiz. I immediately was at ease with Dr. Ruiz. She listened to me, asked me questions, referred to the paperwork I brought with me from Georgia and talked about the ‘plan’ for my medications. I knew immediately I was in good hands and so very thankful to have her here in the tri-county area. I highly recommend her. She is understanding, listens, takes the time to go over all of your questions. On a scale of one to five I give her a six…she goes well beyond what I expected. Her staff is top notch and personable too. They too do a wonderful job. I’m thankful to have her as my doctor and highly recommend her.
