Patient Reviews
May 18, 2023
I saw Dr. Ruth in his Solvang office. I drove 1.5 hours to see him on three separate occasions and never had to wait to be seen, even on the occasion that I arrived early. I initially saw him on a Wednesday and he scheduled my surgery for the following Tuesday. I was kept awake during surgery(couldn't feel anything) and he walked me through the procedure and made me feel incredibly comfortable. My condition unfortunately will most likely require surgery again and I will not hesitate to have my procedure with Dr. Ruth.
