Patient Reviews
Jul 12, 2024
I have been very happy with the care provided by Dr. Ruggiero. He was timely in seeing me when I was referred, was clear about what he was looking at, answered my questions, was personable and made me feel comfortable, scheduled surgery in a timely fashion, and explained the results. I will be meeting him next week for followup and look forward to an informative conversation.
