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. Ruland and the entire office staff was wonderful. He answered my endless questions and explained in detail the surgery and recovery process. I thought he was wrong on the recovery process (too short), but he was spot on. The office staff handled my issues from my work place with ease and efficiency.

Absolutely recommend! This week I scheduled two appointments- both extremely timely and convenient. Same day appointments! All my interactions with him and his team were more than favorable. Not happy to have an injury but thrilled at the fast and courteous care I’ve received. Thank you!

I would recommend Dr. Charles Ruland for anyone having a shoulder problem. I had a really bad tear on my right shoulder and Dr. Ruland completely repaired my shoulder. I'm so happy with him.

I have seen Dr. Rutland and his partners for a knee, shoulder and hip issues. I was recently injured in a car accident and his office said he won’t see me because it is associated with a car accident. I am very disappointed. My family has been his customers for almost 20 years.

Dr. Charles Ruland successfully performed complex shoulder surgery on me two years ago. The injuries accumulated over time. My results exceed the most ambitious expectations. My surgically repaired shoulder has more strength and flexibility than the other one. I am very thankful to have found Dr. Charles Ruland and the AAOS rehab team. Their dedication to my surgery and rehab inspired me to work hard, too.

I am thankful to have found Dr. Ruland. What I thought to be a rotator tear turned into a biceps tendon tear along with a SLAP tear. Doc carefully explained the procedures and possibilities, and he was very clear in what to expect concerning recovery time. The scars from my incisions are hardly visible, unlike others from my dermatologist. Very clean. Recovery followed exactly as suggested. I highly recommend Dr. Ruland. Remember you help him by putting your effort into physical therapy!

Dr. Ruland continues to provide high quality care coupled with a strong and personalized commitment to patient communications. His surgical skills are beyond reproach, but what makes him stand out is how much time and care he devotes to his patients' social and emotional concerns.

Dr. Ruland is an incredible surgeon. He successfully repaired a very large rotator cuff tear so that my pain is totally gone. Besides being a wonderful surgeon he is a very kind and comforting doctor. Everyone on his staff is pleasant and polite. My only complaint about the practice is having to fill out the same form EVERY visit. Thank you, Dr. Ruland. Marcey Miller

Dr. Ruland performed shoulder surgery on both my husband and myself. We both were very pleased with the results of those procedures and with Dr. Ruland. At all times, he listened to us, took the time to explain the procedure, and made sure we were progressing properly afterwards. We highly recommend Dr. Ruland.

Today was my first time in the office. I had no problems getting an appointment, I scheduled the day before. Dr. Ruland was friendly, responsive to my questions and forthcoming with details to educate and inform me of my condition with my knee. It was also convenient for them to have xray facility on-site, so that he could quickly diagnose my issue without back-and-forth visits. All in all I was pleased with my visit but had what I believe to be a weird response to the cortisone shot in my knee.

I have had three injuries, each resulting in a rotator cuff repair. From diagnosis to surgery, Dr. Ruland provided a very comprehensive approach to each phase. He is an extremely talented, competent and qualified professional. Above all, he respects and listens to you. He has an excellent "bedside" manner. I highly recommend him.
