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.

A got-your-back gynecologist
I've been seeing Dr Rudman since she opened her practice. As well being a careful, knowledgeable, straightforward, and persistent professional in her own field, she acts almost as a primary doctor because she keeps track of every health issue I have and coordinates her care with all those other factors in mind -- not to exclude other professionals, but rather to be sure I turn to those doctors when I should. She has become a good friend over the years, and I can't recommend her highly enough.

So Rude
DR Rudman has no bedside manners. She is a great doctor, but that's not important when you are a mean human being and not approachable. She has climbed up the medical ladder only for status and not for actual care of her patients. She is very proud about her connections, if only she could transfer that strive to be the best for her patients. She actually takes pride in the fact that people are "scared" of her. no they are not scared, they just don't want to deal with rude people. She will walk right by you, disregard you and ignore you outside of the clinic. OH! And the only reason she spends that much time with patients is because she bored with her life and feeds off others people issues/life events. After you're done, her whole staff will know what's going on in your life! I just feel bad for her Medical Assistant! Shes an amazing person, i don't know how she has delt with her for so long...

Zero professional staff. The front desk girl gave me an appointment multiple times and when i showed up she rudely said i was wrong and missed my appointment. I was harassed for payment even though i had not gottrn the services i was being harassed to pay. Makes me feel like shes more focussed on finances than quality care. She doesnt listen. I ended up leaving and am so happy with Ramos she listens and shes compassionate.

Dr. Rudman is amazing. She was my doctor before I had my daughter and is an incredible OB. I trust her completely and love her dry sense of humor. She spends real time with her patients and gets to know them. Her advice is practical and realistic and she presents you with a range of options when she thinks there are many safe paths but doesn’t hesitate to tell you when she thinks there’s one best way to go. I felt safe throughout my whole pregnancy and labor and wouldn’t dream of seeing anyone else in SB.
