Dr. Rueff is awesome. This is the third time I have had a gel injection in my knee, and I experience very little pain each time he has given it. We appreciate him so much.

Dr. Rueff is patient & truly listens to his patients. He allowed me to exhaust all options of treatment & is/will be an excellent surgeon in the end! He has done my PKR & will be doing my other knee total replacement.

Dr. Rueff really explained my concerns about my shoulder replacement . It seemed like it took several months for him to explain exactly what was done to me. I probably was asking the wrong questions. Over all I really appreciated the level of care I received. I think he needs to help his patients understand their procedure better before they have it.
Thank you,
