Patient Reviews
Feb 20, 2024
I had diverticulitis it progressed as the years went on. So finally after years of suffering, and multiple hospital visits and numerous stays I had an life altering operation. After the operation, I had to wear a colostomy bag for sixteen months. I was told by the surgery team that I was eligible for a reversal, however, after seven visits to doctors for the reversal I was told that it could not be done, and that I would have to live with the colostomy bag. I had lost hope and was ready to give up. Luckily one the young ladies in my primary doctor's office said why not try one of these doctors. She gave me three names, so I choose Dr. Ruiz's name randomly. Upon my first visit to her office she was so personable, and so kind to me, she made me feel like a human again with tears rolling down my face I had hope again. She told me 'you are what were looking for, Yes we can do the reversal, and so she did. She is God Sent, she actually cares and is a true professional, and she's gorgeous.
