It's very nice and informative. We'll visit her again.
Actually saw her Assistant Brie who was marvelous and so helpful.
I was very frustrated with my eyeglasses when I went in for my appointment. After my exam, her assistant explained the findings, and Dr. Ruiz came in and reviewed her report. She told the assistant report was better than the prior and explain to me what the problem was. She told me in detail and explain why there was a problem for me. She was excellent and very thorough.
Patricia gave me an extensive eye exam. Very polite, easy to talk to, professional and just awesome!
She is compassionate, extremely knowledgeable and cares about her patients. She takes the time to explain what she is seeing and has actionable ways to resolve potential issues. She is holistic in her approach - very refreshing !
