Very rude. Wants to cut you up! Feel bad for all the people in the waiting room that he "cut up" Not to mention the wait time ..its unreal. They also love to rebook you and expect you to be around when he is ready. Because most of the time he is in surgery " cutting people open". I am glad I had hours to wait in waiting room and re-think his practices and quick "cut up solutions". I was out of there! And never looked back! Run from Rudo!!!!!

I would never recommend this doctor to anyone. His manners are atrocious. He is a very arrogant man. The specific surgery in mention, caused more (life-long) pain, than not. Also worth mentioning, he left behind scars that far exceeded what any competent Dr. should have mastered after this many years in practice,

Save yourself time and grief, get a second opinion. He double or triple books appointments, spends very little time listening to your concerns and YOUR health issues. He overbooks, thus, his health staff asks YOU for your weight and height- no pulse, temp or Blood pressure taken. (You will see proof of this when/if you ask for a copy of your health records). This doctor wants to cut you open and have you go away. Now my wife is paying for this lack of concern with her health, for life. Beware.

My consultation was scheduled for 9:15am however I did not get to see the doctor until 11:15am- TWO HOURS later. The nurses did not say anything to anyone waiting nor did they apologize for the wait. After being in the room for 20 minutes Dr. Rude came in and did not bother to apologize for his complete and utter lack of being understanding of other people's time. I walked out without even talking about the surgery. It is quite apparent that this is a job for him, but it is my life. I'm not going to trust someone who is that lazy with my life. He's not the only doctor in the world. I highly suggest going somewhere else.
