2 minutes ago Dr. Ruby operated on my husband's left retina at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak on 10-28-19. We were extremely pleased with the care and professionalism of all involved. From the office staff to the hospital staff, we were kept informed of every step along the way. Dr. Ruby is a very precise individual who wants the best outcome for his patients and we highly recommend him. 2 minutes ago Dr. Ruby operated on my husband's left retina at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak on 10-28-19.

Dr. Ruby has been treating my 88 year old Mother for 2 years. He is wonderful. My Mom has responded to the medication and has much improved. The entire staff are friendly and highly skilled. I would recommend Dr. Ruby to any one needing this type of service.

Our experience with Dr. Ruby has been awesome. When we had to seek his service, we were scared to death. His knowledge and compassion immediately put us to ease. We have seen incredible progress and our Mother has responded to the treatment. The staff and Dr. Ruby are the best!

I have been seeing Dr. Ruby for about 7 months now and have had 4 retina repair surgeries. He's fast and to the point. He always makes time for me and gets me in right away. He answers all my questions and shows genuine care for my well being. I respect and value his opinion greatly. It is very comforting to have a doctor that you trust so much.

He's an amazing doctor. He took the time to explain the rental re-attachment surgery. He then comforted us when he could tell that we were upset.
