Have known him professionally foir more than 20 years... He has treated me for 3 ortho-issues, my wife for several, and my son for 1 - very serious - issue in that time. Got us through all of them patiently, without unnecessary surgery.

Dr. Ruland is very kind, compassionate and knowledgeable. I have been going to him for quite some time having been referred by two high school friends. When I recently went to see him for my knees he said he felt the problems I was having were related to my back. He was right and I am grateful fr his diagnosis. I highly recommend him!

Dr Ruland is the best! He takes time to discuss available treatments and does not push surgery as the only solution.
