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.

Thank you, Dr. Cervoni, for your ten years of excellent care. You were always available and so capable to guide us to better health. We visited Dr Sakellarios per you recommendation and found him to be very kind and knowledgeable. Enjoy your retirement and your leisure time with your beautiful family. Mary Lou and Jim Burne

Excellent Pro-Active Internal Medicine Specialist
Recently, a few days before I was about to leave town for several months, I saw Dr. Cervoni Ruiz for my annual physical. After going through his checklist of questions, and just before our visit was to end, I mentioned that I had occasionally experienced some tightness in my chest. He immediately said I should be checked by a cardiologist. I protested, saying there wasn't time before my trip to schedule such a visit. He picked up his phone, reached another medical office, and, after explaining I was about to leave town, directed me to the office of a cardiologist in the same medical building. Within five minutes, I was ushered in to see the cardiologist, who scheduled me for a stress test the very next day. I took the test, passed with flying colors, and was advised about how to deal with what might be heartburn and indigestion. I have had no issues since and went on my trip with a clear mind. I so appreciate having such a proactive and caring physician as Dr. Cervoni Ruiz.

Very professional attitude. Takes time to deal with your problems and does not rush you into tests or drugs. You feel reassured when you leave his office. Thank you Dr. Cervonip

I have been going to Dr. Cervoni for six or seven years. I have found him to be very caring and responsive. I trust him completely. Also, his nurse Claudia always goes the extra mile to respond to my needs. I would definitely recommend Dr. Cervoni.

He referred me to a retina specialists when I needed an optometrist. I was billed $300 for an unnecessary procedure. He would not respond to multiple phone calls or a letter regarding the matter. I was stuck with the bill. He has no integrity. Do not select him as your physician.

I presented to establish as a new patient with concerns about headaches. He seemed uninterested in my complaints, treated me like I was a drug seeker because of the medications I am on (Which he made sure to tell me he would not be able to prescribe and I would HAVE to go to a pain management clinic, keep in mind, I did not ask for a prescription). Then he proceeds to tell met hat I have sleep apnea without me complaining of sleep issues or choking while I sleep. Stay away from this guy.
