By far one of the most professional and caring physicians that I had the opportunity of not only working with but referring my family members to. Dr. Ruiz makes it his goal to be as efficient and prompt in his care of patients. His practice is clean, comfortable and filled with a welcoming staff. At times it can be extremely overwhelming as a patient to go to the doctor's office, but Dr. Ruiz promotes a comfortable environment to be treated and learn about preventable measures. I will continue to refer my loved ones to be cared for by Dr. Ruiz.
