My experience with Dr. Ruiz was exceptional in every way. He was not only extremely knowledgeable but also compassionate and genuinely invested in my care. From the moment I walked in, he made me feel comfortable and took the time to thoroughly explain my condition and what it means for me. His attention to detail, professionalism, and warm demeanor truly set him apart. I left the appointment feeling confident and reassured, knowing I was in the best possible hands. Dr. Ruiz exceeded all expectations, and I cannot recommend him highly enough!
