Dr Ruffing has been my PCP since 1992. He takes his time with me, does a thorough diagnosis, and allows me to express how I'm feeling and what else may be happening in my life. He seems to care a great deal for his patients, and he has a good sense of humor. A great guy and physician.

Dr. Ruffing always sits down with you and has an in-depth conversation. I have always taken away a lot of helpful information, including ways that I can monitor and improve my own personal health practices. I think that patients tend to want a prescription of some kind, but Dr. Ruffing doesn't always work that way. Very straightforward and honest about what you can do to maintain and improve your health.
