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.

WORST DOCTOR EVER: I've had my first appointment with Dr. Ruehl and unfortunately, my experience at this appointment was traumatic. My previous physician, Dr. Strozier, had left, and I kept this appointment because I needed a refill on my medication. Dr. Ruehl seemed like she cared, but then she pressured me into doing an exam even though I was uncomfortable and obviously unwell. This experience has really affected me and I feel that she really needs some training in working with survivors of trauma. Given her line of work, I would think that she would be more understanding and know how to properly handle those situations. Instead of doing what was best for me, she was more interested in doing what convenient for her and violated the "do no harm" ethic that physicians are supposed to have. All of this happened back in June and I have been very unwell since then. I hope that she is proud of the "care" she gave. This patient will not be returning.

I absolutely love this doctor! Unfortunately I had to make a decision to change gynecologists today. She is so hard to get an appointment with and the staff cancels your appointment and does not notify you. This has happened to me twice. Great doctor, awful office.

My husband and I truly had the best experience with Dr. Ruehl! It's not often that you find a doctor and staff who treat you like family. She and her nurses/staff did just that from the very first appointment! Highly recommend!

I have never rated anyone or anything on the internet, however, I felt compelled to write a review about Dr. Ruehl. I am a 55 yo female and just started seeing Dr. Ruehl a few months ago. She is the BEST doctor I have ever had the privilege of being seen by. She is very knowledgeable in diagnosis and explanation of your condition. She treats you as if you were a part of her own family. Mere words cannot explain the gratitude I have towards her. To me, she is an angel in the flesh.

Dr. Ruehl is by far one of the best physicians in Columbus. She genuinely cares for each of her patients and you can feel this love from day 1. In addition, she is very knowledgeable and takes the time to address any concerns or questions the patient may have. She is always upbeat and positive, but also very relaxed rather than hyper. I wish I knew about Dr. Ruehl before my third pregnancy. She is the best!!
