Dr. Joseph Ruggiero, MD

The BEST Dr. Great team at the office (shout out to Debbie!)

I am so fortunate to have been under the amazing care of Dr Ruggiero since my diagnosis in 2012 up to his retirement in 2021. He and his fantastic team Chris, Debbie, Rose, Brenda and all the other staff members created an atmosphere of warmth and caring which helped me throughout my medical journey. Although I was being treated for a serious and scary condition, my visits to Dr Ruggiero's office were filled with kindness , support, and positivity. I never waited long to be seen and no matter how many people were in the waiting room I was always welcomed quickly and warmly. Dr Ruggiero exhibited incredible knowledge, patience, and understanding in explaining every aspect of my medical treatment and condition. His supportive attitude helped bolster my spirit and encouraged me to remain optimistic over the years. I wish Dr Ruggiero every success in his new career and I know that the medical community will be better because of the participation of Joseph Ruggiero, MD.

Yes,very much so

Dr Ruggiero is the most caring intelligent nan. I will miss him

Dr. Ruggiero's been my oncologist since my diagnosis in 2017. I wish I could give a higher evaluation than 5 stars. He was always completely updated on every aspect of my condition and treatment, always straightforward and reassuring and available to answer all questions in comprehensive, comprehensible detail. His staff is the best I've seen from the receptionist, to the phlebotomist to the chemo nurses to his administrative assistant. All knew my wife and me by the second visit, greeted us by name and, astoundingly, we never had to wait. By that I mean my total wait time over the 3 plus years may have been 10 minutes - for all visits combined.

Dr. Ruggiero is an incredibly kind, gentle, and caring person. Explains everything in detail, from diagnoses to treatment options, always has time for questions or discuss concerns, very caring. His staff, Debbie, Chris, and everyone in between are the most caring and dedicated team I have ever met.

I have not enough words and gratitude to praise Dr Joseph Ruggiero for the most individual professional tender loving care and for his loyal team. I have the outmost trust in him and remain grateful for the rest of my life ! Rony Rogoff

Always great.

It’s easy to rave about Dr. Joseph Ruggiero. He does everything you want your Doctor to do—he listens, explains everything, and includes you in your care. He is as invested in your care as you are. That makes you a better patient and finally, thank God and Dr. Ruggiero, a healthy one!

Dr. Ruggiero has been my oncologist for 35 years. I was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer. I had a brutal round of chemo and Dr. Ruggiero was so caring and understanding and that made me feel better. More important, he made me feel safe. Almost a year later due to his expert skills, he discovered I had a recurrence. That time I had to undergo radiation. I continued to visit him a few times a year to check on my recovery. I live on the Upper East Side of New York City. I could go to any one of the outstanding hospitals. I chose to stay with Dr. Ruggiero and NY Presbyterian Hosp. Because he discovered the recurrence I believe I owe him my life. All his outstanding skills aside, he is a hell of a nice guy. He was the good news in my bad news situation. I'm a lucky woman that he is my doctor. You're a lucky institution that had him to practice in. God bless Joseph Thomas Ruggiero, M.D.

It was terrific.

this man saved my life ..!

Dr Ruggiero is very thorough, and friendly all at the same time. I never feel rushed and he always spends time with me and answers all my questions. And is never distracted.

Dr Ruggerio and Debbie have been readily available to help us when my father was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer and he had always up to date with the treatment and Debbie has always been accessible to help schedule the many different appointments that follow thank you words can’t express the gratitude we feel

Dr Ruggiero has my highest recommendation. I admire his dedication and expertise,

I have been a patient of Dr. Ruggiero for 30 years. He has my full trust and confidence as a person and professionally.

A very kind and gentle person who spends his time to answer any questions you have and is very thorough. He takes the time to get to know your situation and know you as a person. The rest of the office staff is also very kind and attentive. Very happy to have him as my doctor!

I have been a patient of Dr. Ruggiero since 1994. It is an honor to be his patient. He is brilliant, kind, caring and, of course, knowledgeable. I would recommend him to the world.

Excellent experience.

Knowledgeable and empathetic physician.
