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.

Highly professional medical and patient service.
I visited Dr Ruder office having some medical issues. Dr Ruder prescribed tome some medical tests and unclogged my ears. After completing tests I came to the office again. Dr Ruder answered all my questions, prescribed medication and checked my ears and noise again. I am extremely happy with the medical service provided by Dr. Ruder. He is highly professional and provided excellentcustomer treatment. Thank you Dr. Ruder! MichaelJanuary 2025

Poor beside manner
Doctor was dismissive of my ear problem and spent the appointment shaming me for being fat and telling me I was a car that was about to run out of gas. He also scornfully criticized the quality of my dental care (which my dentist says is fine, by the way, and I have no dental issues). Also did nothing for my problem, which subsequently developed into an ear infection. I have since found a caring, understanding, empathetic doctor who listened to my concerns without judgment and addressed my problem thoroughly and completely. Wish I had gone to her first.

Please go somewhere else. He totally messed up my son's ear. Bad job and has all the words to cover his bad work. Just got back from seeing another Doc and even he was shocked to see this bad job?? Even this Doc said you should've gotten a second opinion. I feel like I let my kid down. I don't want any parent feeling the way I feel at this moment ?? Keep this guy away from your love once.

I went to several Plastic surgeons before visiting Dr Ruder. I never experienced a more complete examination regarding all my concerns with potential nasal surgery. Dr Ruder found I had allergies in addition to correcting my cosmetic concerns I now have a beautiful nose and breathe perfectly He is truly a fabulous doctor and individual Many thanks

I was referred to Dr. Ruder by my primary care physician as a result of a sore on my lip that would not heal. Dr. Ruder examined my lip and we agreed to try a topical medication to see if that would alleviate the problem. We tried this for a week. The sore did not heal so subsequently Dr. Ruder did a biopsy.. Fortunately for me the results were none cancerous. Dr. Ruder called me personally to inform me of the results. All of my interactions with Dr. Ruder and his staff have been phenomenal
