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.

Partial nephrectomy 3/18/22
Dr. Rutila did an excellent job with robotic partial nephrectomy. I was so well recovered and released in AM on March 20th. My only complaint is that Dr. did not come out to update my husband post surgery. Other than lacking bedside manner, my BIGGEST COMPLAINT IS ABOUT HIS OFFICE STAFF. Do not expect good treatment when calling to set up an appointment. You will go thru three layers of phone screening before you reach an answering machine for the Doctors scheduler who never calls back the same day. If she calls you back and gets your voicemail, she leaves only a message to call HER back with the tone in her voice that you’re plugging up her day with so much to do. I can’t with these office people. Their lives are their only concern yet they handle VERY SERIOUS MATTERS for patients with life threatening conditions. Patients must decide if they can deal with terrible, insulting, too-busy-for-you office help to get services from a pretty good doctor.

I was not happy with the reviews of the first doctor they had scheduled me we, so I contacted my doctor to let her know and if there was anyone she could recommend. She stated that one of the doctors had gone to Dr. Rutila and were pleased with how they were treated and the treatment they received. Glad I spoke up and am pleased with my first visit.
