Hope Rugo, MD

She's an amazing oncologist. She's an amazingly dedicated human being! I trust her completely!

I am now a "survivor" and in that group. In five years with Dr Rugo as nominal oncologist, I saw her two times. The first time I waited over 2 hours. I took in very little of what she said because I was drowsy by the time she came into the exam room. "Nominal" also because in five years I saw 2 nurse practitioners, and after year one mostly nurses. These are wonderful people but how extensive is their knowledge? One was so blinded by her own experiences (non cancer) that she ignored my requests for help until it was almost too late to take any corrective action. Dr Rugo no doubt lives up to all the adjectives bestowed on her, but don't expect her to be your actual doctor.

Best Oncologist, hands down!
