Dr. Ruark saved my husband's life. He is an excellent surgeon, totally dedicated to his patients. He takes time to talk and explain everything and shows compassion and dedication in everything he does. He is the only doctor ,of all my husband's doctors ,who visited every day. This was including weekends and the entire four weeks my husband was in the hospital. I would recommend him to anyone, nothing but good things to say about him.

The staff was very prompt, courteous and helpful. Dr. Ruark's nurse and PA were very efficient and overall visit was thorough and fast. I will always use this doctor or his partner Dr. Crooms for my surgical needs. I have already recommended him to friends and will continue to do so.
