Seemed a bit rushed but was pleasant and did her job for the 2 mins I saw her.
Great job !
Very good doc
Very caring, informative, and understanding of my concerns
Dr Ruiz is great. She explains how my eyes are doing and answers any questions. Very pleasant! 😊
Never saw the Dr cause I was told that by going to the Dunnellon office i wouldn't have the wait I had in Ocala. Not true. All of your Dr's seem to feel the Patients time means nothing! If you can't tale the Patient for 45min or more don't schedule so many! It's pure greed!
Very professional. Explains accurate Takes her time with her patient.
She is very warm, caring & professional.
