I have been a patient of Dr. Ruff since I was a baby. Every time I go for an appointment he takes the time to talk to me and see how things are going. He knows I took an anatomy class in high school and speaks to me in medical terms. If he can tell he has lost me then he will stop and translate it into something I understand. When I go in, I don't feel that I am going to see a doctor, I feel I am going to visit a friend that happens to be my doctor. I recommend him to anyone that has children. He has found the perfect mixture of knowledge and people skills. When I have kids of my own, I will definitely be bringing them to him.

I love Dr. Ruff. My daughter who is two, will allow him to do anything because she trusts him. Major downside: his appointments take forever because of the wait time. Each appt. takes 1-2hours. Everyone in his office is nice and he has a lot of experience. Here's a tip: get the first appt. of the day unless you want to wait an hour just to see him.

My daughter had issues gaining weight. He was concerned and had her come in ever week and every two weeks. Explained everything well, and also took into mind what the parents careers are. He really cares. Yes sometimes it means you have to wait a little longer, but well worth the wait.

Dr. Ruff is awesome! He always takes time to talk to my kids and find out what they're up to in school, with friends, etc. He cares about his patients!
