I met Dr. Ruggieri 30 years ago as a customer. I am a local painting contractor, and time went by, so I lost contact with him. I had my own doctor, and at the time, I didn't need his services. During Hurricane Charley, I went to the emergency room with kidney stones. When I arrived at the ER, the first question was: "Who is your primary doctor?" They tried to call my primary doctor, but they couldn't reach him because, during the storm, no doctors were available. I was waiting in the examining room and recognized Dr. Ruggieri. I asked the nurse to verify if it was really him, and she confirmed it was. I asked the nurse to let him know that Tony the painter was here. It didn't take more than 2 minutes, and he was in the examining room asking me questions. After x-rays, he found that I had kidney stones. He gave me medication and a shot and then sent me home. I became his patient, and have been ever since. During those years, he discovered other health issues that had never been diagnosed by any previous doctor. Through our interactions, Dr. Ruggieri and I have become great friends while maintaining a professional doctor-patient relationship. My wife has also become his patient. Just like me, he was able to diagnose her diabetes and more. She is almost 100 percent diabetes-free and is now medication-free. He gave her a healthy diet and a meal plan that has improved her quality of life by 90%. We are fortunate to have Dr. Ruggieri as both a doctor and a friend. We can't express enough how appreciative we are of his professionalism and care. We highly recommend him. Thank you to Dr. Ruggieri and his staff for giving us a renewed sense of life. read more

I highly recommend and trust Dr. Ruggieri for his professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. My name is Maria, and I have had the distinct honor and pleasure of not only meeting Dr. Ruggieri but also benefiting from his exceptional care. A few years ago, I visited my former doctor, who misdiagnosed my thyroid issues, leaving me feeling confused. I was also diagnosed with diabetes and other health concerns and was placed on medications like Metformin and cholesterol medication. During that time, I gained some weight and experienced memory loss, which I believe was due to the medications. Thankfully, Dr. Ruggieri stepped in with a fresh perspective. Under his care, I am now nearly 100% free from diabetes and no longer require medication. He provided me with a personalized diet and meal plan that has improved my quality of life by 90%. We are fortunate to have Dr. Ruggieri not only as a doctor but also as a friend. His professionalism, expertise, and genuine care have given us a renewed sense of life. We cannot express enough how grateful we are to him and his wonderful staff, and we highly recommend his services to anyone seeking outstanding medical care. Thank you, Dr. Ruggieri, for all that you've done. read more
