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 Ruzicka you saved my sons life in Feb 2000
I always wanted to thank you! I never got to from NJ. My son Jason had 2nd rarest metabolic condtion Pyruvate Carboxylase Deficiency and U put VP shunt in at age 2.5. He lived to be age 22. He is in JAMA for being oldest survivor in the world with his condition. He lived 19 years past life expectancy. Thank you so much! I know you’ll remember us. Thank you Carolyn

Dr. Ruzicka is an aggressive surgeon. After being told by him that we needed to get open head surgery on my 4 month old within 3 weeks or risk permanent damage we decided to get a second opinion. I wasn't able to confirm any of the risks that he mentioned in my own research. The second neurologist we went to had never heard of what Dr. Ruzika was describing. I talked with other pediatricians and found our he is known as the most aggressive neurosurgeon in the state! Beware his thirsty pocketbook
