The best worldwide number #1 best dentist doctor
July 29, 2025Toyin O.Verified patient
At first the visit was pleasant-check in was speedy, yet efficient and front desk was friendly and helpful.
Dentist was comforting but I couldn’t help but to notice how unclean it was in the exam room.
They were thorough in explaining what work needed to done and even helpful in explaining my coverage.
It wasn’t until I went to the oral surgeon, that the Dental Hygienist explained and showed me that they didn’t perform a proper cleaning they barely cleaned at all!

April 5, 2025Magaly R.Verified patient
I would highly recommend this dentist to anyone . They were so nice and polite ,
I had a fantastic visit to Dr. Ruzhansky’s dental office recently! The front desk greeted me with warm smiles, instantly calming my usual dentist-visit nerves. they walked me through each step with patience and clarity, which made the whole process so much less daunting. Dr. Ruzhansky was a standout: kind, highly skilled, and clearly passionate about what he does. The office itself was spotless, with a relaxing vibe and all the latest equipment. I’m actually looking forward to my next appointment, and I’d recommend Dr. Ruzhansky’s practice to anyone seeking a dentist !
