My father was a patient of this cardiologist. During his last visit, several medications — including blood thinners — were discontinued. When we tried to ask questions about his care plan, the response felt abrupt and dismissive.Several months later, my father suffered a stroke. Prior to that, he had been showing signs of confusion, and I asked about the possibility of vascular dementia, which the doctor strongly disagreed with. Unfortunately, that diagnosis was confirmed later.I called the office to share an update on my fa... read more

Dr Ruggieri is a double (dare I say triple) certified MD. As an Internal Medicine and Cardiologist he knows the workings of the body, our mother ship so to speak. As a practitioner he is deliberate and methodically thorough in finding out what a patients underlying ailments are. He gives you a historical road map of what brought you to him. Like a mechanic of a Maserati he checks under the hood. He provides a wealth of knowledge and delivers the patient instructions, necessary tools and guidance to make informed decisions on... read more

Also near a 20 year patient, initially as a primary and more recently as a cardio situation, I have relied on his care. He is all business with follow up attention and frequent use of testing, much of it in house. ..His office team are effective and friendly. At 87 I'm pleased to need only one doctor. Jim Howard

Dr Ruggieri is very knowledgeable and professional. He is kind, considerate, and compassionate. Dr Ruggieri genuinely cares about my health and well being. He explains his decisions in language that I understand and listens to my concerns. I am very impressed by his hands on knowledge with stents and coronary artery disease. He is confident and considers my overall health in his decisions. I always feel that I am in good hands with Dr Ruggieri. I feel that he “has my back”. Dr Ruggieri and his entire staff are very respectfu... read more

I have been seeing Dr. Ruggieri for over 20 years. He is pro active professional and requires you to take tests during an annual physical with follow ups if needed. The front desk staff is awesome and Patty is exceptional, always with a smile.

Dr. Buggier it’s very thorough in his examinations and the path he wants to take for your treatment. And is straightforward and tells it like it is.. and the staff is amazing to work with as well. He’s not only my cardiologist. He’s my father‘s also..

He listens to my concerns and questions then explains in detail using layman's language. Dr. R always ensures that my wife and i understands the reason(s) for any and all required procedures, medications, my role in assisting in my own healthcare (e.g. lifestyle changes, adjustments). At Follow-up visits, he meticulously explains results including imaging photographs. I never feel rushed. Over the years I have had at least three previous cardiologist and in my view, he is definitely the BEST.

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... read more
