Patient Reviews
Sep 17, 2024
Dr Ruge and his team are honestly just amazing! I could talk about how much I love them all day! I met Dr Ruge and his team when my son was 8 months old for a suspected tethered spinal cord. Once his MRI was scheduled the radiologist missed that my son had a tethered spinal cord however Dr Ruge saw that his reading was wrong, my son did in fact have a spinal tethered cord. My son had surgery Dec 19th 2018 when he was 10months old the surgery went great! Fast forward to April 26th 2021 my son was 3 years old needed a brain MRI and a tumor was found that Dr Ruge removed the entire tumor on June 30th 2021 and my son was diagnosed with ATRT brain cancer only 2 days later. My son rang the bell April 12 2022 and has remained (no evidence of disease) knock on wood!
