Overall good exam. Agreed with the current Fluticasone and sent in a prescription to pharmacy. Also said he was prescribing a cream for ear dryness and itchiness, perhaps he forgot or changed his mind because I did not get it. Agreed to submit a sleep study order to SA Sleep Center. Awaiting call from them. My next appointment is in 5 weeks.
He was the nicest, most caring doctor I've ever had (and Ive been to a lot of different doctors). I wish more doctors had the politeness and care that he did.

My visit with Dr. Ruiz went amazingly well. Dr. Ruiz and his staff treated me in a very professional manner. After the exam, he explained his findings, provide me with a prescription and set me up for a return appointment. I was also provided the opportunity to ask questions.

Since Zocdoc sent me the incorrect information regarding my appointment with another doctor in the same office, so another doctor, Dr. Ruiz, kindly saw me as his last patient of the day. He treated my ears and was terrific. Not just as a doctor, but as a person. Love Dr. Ruiz. MA

The staff, starting with Monica at the front desk were awesome and very friendly and knowledgeable. I was amazed by Monica who was juggling so many things and was still able to help everyone who came to her window - I sat right outside the window. My only negative was the 2 hour wait. Once I got in to see Dr. Ruiz all was great.
