Dr. John Robert Ruge, MD

Very good doctor

I could not have asked for a better surgeon. He is very knowledgable, listens carefully and is very reassuring and truly cares. Great attitude! Great surgeon!

I highly recommend Dr. Ruge. Not only is he an excellent surgeon, but he is just a super kind and nice person. Dr. Ruge operated on my daughter to remove a vein malformation in her brain. Although she risked paralysis and brain damage from recurring seizures, Dr. Ruge successfully removed the golf ball sized malformation with complete success. Today, my daughter is happy, healthy, seizure free eith absolutely no side effects or limitations. Dr. Ruge truly saved my daughter's life. Highly, highly recommend Dr Ruge.

Dr Ruge is the absolute best! My daughter has Spina Bifida & Dr Ruge has been her doc since birth! He is so kind caring & truly listens and takes his time! We couldn't ask for a better Doctor! Thank you Dr Ruge!

Dr. Ruge saved our sons life. He accurately diagnosed, and removed a large tumor from the back of his head. He is kind, patient and caring.

Dr. Ruge removed a benign meningioma from the base of my brain nearly 10 years ago. The surgery was 7 hours. He scheduled me for surgery five days after we discovered the tumor. Dr. Ruge is professional, caring, has an outstanding bedside manner, and for the past several years, he has been listed in the prestigious ranking of the top doctors in the Chicago area by Chicago Magazine. For neurosurgery and related issues, there is no one better! Actually, all physicians in the entire practice are outstanding.

Our daughter was born with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus. Dr. Ruge was the attending doctor at her birth, and he has been with us for the last three years. Oh, what a blessing he is! We have never encountered a more caring, knowledgeable and professional doctor. Each time our little girl is hospitalized, we are so relieved as parents, to know that she is in such good hands. We are praying that Dr. Ruge doesn't retire for a LONG, LONG time.

When I was diagnosed with Chiari Malformation I was stunned and confused. After much research on my condition I was able to get a better understanding. Then I did research to find a doctor who was considered an expert for this condition and I found Doctor Ruge. He always took the time needed to explain things to me, he never made me feel like he needed to rush on to the next patient, he answered all of my questions and my families questions and he never pressured me into any procedures. He explained my options and gave his professional opinion. When I decided to go ahead with the surgery he thoroughly explained the surgery and post-op recovery. Dr. Ruge and his staff are the most professional and caring group I have ever dealt with. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a neuro-surgeon.

Dr Ruge is amazing. Our son has spina bifida and hydrocephlus. He has done two surgeries for us and has always been caring and compassionate, and the consumate professional!
