Thorough exam including x-rays, which put my mind at ease. Quick, not a long wait.

07/17/2019

Been a patient of Doctor Ruark for more than 19 years and never had any problems when he performed my surgeries. [Single best thing is...] Dr Ruark performing my rotator cuff surgery and finding a tumor which was cancerous, I underwent chemo and now am 14 years in remission.

Dr. Ruark took the time to listen. [Single best thing is...] Because I have been falling, he ordered a MRI to see why.

06/27/2019

I was in for a visit to coordinate my scheduled surgery and pre op testing. This is my second knee replacement this year. I think the best thing is that I am willing to have the second surgery five months after the first one.

06/27/2019

Though the doctor was advised that I was seeking a second opinion, he had x-rays showing the cusp of my hip socket was not fully formed which would ultimately wear and be painful. I fully respect the conclusion . However, no examination was performed to determine whether the discomfort I was experiencing was indeed the hip and not my back, muscles or some other problem. I was informed that various factors may contribute to discomfort and when the discomfort became severe enough, I might consider the replacement of the hip joint. Though this may be a true, I am not comfortable with the knowledge I acquired. Otherwise, the doctor was polite, and knowledgeable and confident and should I ultimately require a hip replacement I will definitely return and request it be performed by this doctor.

06/27/2019

The doctor explained the surgery and post-op issues with great concern for my well being. We spent 15 min but he was patient in answering my questions.

Dr. Ruark is wonderful. He is easy to talk to, very responsive and helpful. Unlike a lot of other surgical practices, he is very accessible. He will actually call you back in person if you have a question or concern. He gives honest advice and takes time with his patients. I also very much appreciate his conservative approach. He is realistic about what surgery can and cannot do and the outcomes you can honestly expect. That is not true of many surgeons! He is someone I truly trust.

Dr. Ruark went over my MRI (of lower back) results and gave me a copy of the radiologist's report. He highlighted the areas of concern. He referred me to a neurosurgeon of my choice and gave me a couple of key questions to ask. His office made the appointment for me. Lastly, I had explained that I felt it was time for my right knee replacement and because I didn't want to have it done before the end of the year, he had his staff give me tentative surgical date for January, 2020. [Single best thing is...] He listens to me as the patient.
