I've been seeing Dr. Ruff for my skin cancer issues for over two years and I give him a Five Star rating for friendliness and for his expertise in solving my issues with knowledge and consideration of my desires and feelings. I wouldn't hesitate to bring any dermatological problem to him knowing I would receive the best care available.

Dr. Ruff makes us feel right at home as he reviews our skin. He knows all types of skin cancers so we rest easy that he gives us a thorough inspection. He freezes off any questionable areas that can develop into cancers. We are very happy with his care!
