Emily S. Ruiz, MD, MPH

This is about Dr. Ruiz and her unprofessional behavior, dishonesty and attitude. She is changing my surgery date back and forth without a good explanation. She said it had to change again because she was now planning to take a family vacation even though my surgery was scheduled more than 2 month ago. I have already changed my working plans due to the previous change. I feel disrespected as my schedule was not considered by her. When I was trying to communicate with her, she talked without letting me speak from the moment I pick up her call. She gave me options of changing to other doctors to do the surgery, or I cancel the follow-up radiation therapy which is part of the treatment! Not because it was deemed medically unnecessary, but only for her own convenience. When I questioned her about being professional, she accused me being aggressive and hanged up the call, and I have to call the department to coordinate and figured out my surgery with other doctors. This is not the way for a… doctor to treat her patient while it is not even my fault to change the surgery date!
