Jan 09, 2018
Best primary care doctor I have ever had. He listens to everything I say and treats me with respect. I always leave feeling that all my questions were answered and that my medical needs were always taken care of. I usually hate going to the doctor but not anymore. Thank you for caring about your patients and doing such an awesome job Dr. Ruggles!
