He was awesome and so was the staff. They were all very helpful and knowledgeable. Definitely eased my mind as I attempt baby number two after seven years. Hopefully I will be seeing him soon with great news!
The wait time is crazy. If you have to come here don't have anything planned after. The dr isn't bad but by the time I get in to see him im officially annoyed.

What a wonderful visit! I highly recommend a trip to Ruetzel. This isn't usually a type of Dr. visit most ladies look forward to. But he made me feel comfortable & made it easy to be open with my opinions, questions, and concerns!!
Verified patient
I thoroughly enjoyed my visit with Dr. Ruetzel. He is knowledgeable and thorough. Also, the atmosphere of the office is very nice and welcoming. If you are tense about going to a obgyn appt. you won't be here. The employees I interacted with are nice and friendly. I recommend Dr.Ruetzel if you need an obgyn.
Verified patient
My husband and I were in transit, passing through the area, so this was our first and last appointment but Dr. Ruetzel made sure we were good to go by looking over every piece of document we had and just took the time to talk over any concerns we might have. I've seen so many doctors / midwives throughout my 7 months but he was by far the best OB I had. Thank you for making this visit so comfortable and productive!
Verified patient
It's usually really awkward to go to Gynecologists, but this visit was definitely the best I've had! I'm planning to go back and I would recommend it to everyone. Dr. Ruetzel made the visit very comfortable and fun. Very knowledgable, very entertaining and very understanding. I don't think you can get a better doctor than this ladies.
Verified patient
