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 Ruas is a wonderful physician. He is an extremely knowledgeable, skilled, and gifted plastic surgeon. He also is an empathetic person who listens to his patient and provides expert advice regarding appropriate care.

Dr Ruas did my son's ear surgery and he did a beautiful job! His ears look perfect! I consulted with two other plastic surgeons and felt most comfortable with Dr Ruas. His staff is wonderful and he is very professional and kind taking time to listen to your concerns and explains everything. Would use him again for any plastic or cosmetic surgery need. Thank you Dr. Ruas you're great! He was also highly recommended by both my son's pediatrician and my own OB/GYN doctor.

Was I happy with results YES Would I do it again YES Would I choose Dr. Ruas YES The details: I searched for years gathering information before I chose Dr Ruas. I almost get scared thinking I could have chosen anyone else. He is a Plastic Surgeon and his assistant Cathy is a Certified Plastic Surgery Nurse. GREAT combination! I had a face lift and cheek lift May 2016. It is now March 2017. The procedure went smoothly. I look GREAT. Beyond Pleased!
