Patricia Ruiz, O.D. has been practicing primary care optometry for over six years and uses a full-scope approach to her patient care. She loves getting to know patients and provides a pleasant experience with education and reassurance that she will strive to meet each patient’s visual and ocular needs.
Dr. Ruiz was born in Cuba but later raised in South Florida. She has spent most of her life living in South Florida, but in 2023, she decided to leave the hectic and fast-paced city environment to live in Dunnellon. The more country lifestyle has been a nice change for her and her husband.

Outside of work, Dr. Ruiz enjoys cooking, long road trips with her husband and two dogs (German shepherd and Labrador mix), boating, hiking, and traveling with family.
