This was my first visit and I thought it went well. The office was moved temporarily due to a power outage, but the staff called and advised of the change and you would never know it hadn't been their office. Seamless transition.
I was very happy that the doctor was prepared with my history and my previous appt. which was 2 years ago.

This was my first visit and I thought it went well. The office was moved temporarily due to a power outage, but the staff called and advised of the change and you would never know it hadn't been their office. Seamless transition.
After being referred by a psychiatrist to rule out reasons for proper medication management, this doctor told me she had no clue why I was sent to her, there’s nothing she can do for me. That was within the first 3 sentences which included how are you and why are you here today? I would not recommend her. As for the office, I waited 45 minutes to be taken back - and I was the first appointment.
Have some tests that have to be done first.

Dr. Rugino made my husband and me feel that she is a very caring and knowledgeable doctor. She was very attentive and listened when I told her about my husband's symptoms. She gave my husband a thorough examination and then explained her diagnosis. She patiently answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns.
Verified patient
Very nice Dr, not much of a wait time.

Excellent chair side manner and extremely professional yet personal. Dr Rugino answered all my questions, it was an excellent experience even during this stressful time considering my diagnosis. The staff was wonderful too, explaining in detail what needs to be done next regarding further testing and follow up

She listened to everything I had to say, she's sending me for an MRI. So we will see how everything comes back.. But very nice doctor..
Verified patient
In and out! Went there for migraines and not only did she give me the prescription I was hoping for but she provided me with a list of vitamins that might help (which no doc I've ever been to does). Very informative and friendly.

First visit another to follow - no finished yet
Verified patient
Dr Papa Rugino was very kind. She listened to my symptoms and set a plan for what we will do. I'm in the process of having tests done. I found her to be thorough.. She asked if I had any questions. Excellent bedside manner. I would highly recommend her.
Extremely caring and thorough!! I felt like she really cared about finding the root cause of all my headaches. I travelled over an hour to see this doctor & will continue to do so, because the quality of care is unsurpassed!!
Verified patient
Great, as usual. I was able to say what was "on my mind", ask questions, and I received clear, understandable answers. The "care" is with me in mind.
great! Did not have to wait long at all!
Great doc!!
