After 15 plus years of pain and discomfort Dr. Petruff helped diagnose and treat my symptoms and the cause. Happy to say I am pain free and healthy.

Dr. Petruff may be great but the office staff is awful. They are very impatient and rude when I had simple questions about my medication which was changed due to insurance. They didn't call back and then yelled at me when I called to ask about the difference in medication. I was told "It's the same medication!!!" okay...

By far one of my favorite doctors!! Through and totally professional! Don't love having a colonoscopy but Dr. Petruff is so pleasant it has never been an issue going!!! (Even though I'm often a delinquent appointment maker!!!)

So far she has been thorough, patient and talks to you at the level you ask to be talked to.

After 10 years of misdiagnoses, every test except the right one,I finally was seen by Dr Petruff and she was able to diagnose my condition and prescribe the appropriate med. I had seen multiple other drs. I am forever grateful for Dr Petruff's knowledge and experience. She is a lovely person and she was just who I needed at the time. Thank you Dr.

Went to Dr. Petruff because last GI was VERY impersonal and barely spoke to you. Dr. Petruff did answer questions, a bit short and abrupt at times, but better than last GI. Didn't have many answers for me, however, still not sure if problems lie in her area. Not sure I will continue with this dr or not.

Dr. Petruff came recommended to me by my PCP but I was so shocked by her cold and seemingly uncaring attitude. She came rushing into the exam room, asked me a few questions and then asked if I had ever seem another G.I doc. I said "yes, but thats a whole other story" in which she replied "I don't have time for that. You only have 20 minutes". I have worked in a dental office for 30 years and our doctor, hyg or assistants would NEVER say that to a patient! She saw me once, sent me for a bunch of tests but did not set up a follow up for 3 months - in which she did nothing to help make my symptoms better (ie: change or alter medications). I have cancelled my 3 month follow with her - NOT A NICE WOMAN
