Dr. Ruffolo is an amazing physician and a really great, caring individual. What really impressed us is that he is never rushed and always has time for our many questions. His skills are beyond reproach. He gave my husband a new life when he took on his case, and we will be forever grateful.

Having a lot of pain in my right hip, I went to see Dr. Ruffolo. During the initial office visit after looking at my x-rays, he stated my cartilage was gone and the only option I had was complete hip replacement. As I was by myself, Dr. Ruffolo informed me that if my wife wanted to come and discuss the surgery, he would be happy to meet with us. It was decided that our daughter who is a Doctor of Physical Therapy would return with me to Dr. Ruffolo's office to see if there was any alternative to hip replacement. Upon reviewi... read more

I would highly recommend Dr. Ruffalo after my total hip replacement with excellent pre and post-op care. I was back to work in 4 weeks with no limitations! He is very professional and knowledgeable and answered all of my questions.

After years of putting off a total hip replacement I was introduced to Dr. Ruffolo and after one consultation I was ready to schedule the surgery. The entire experience, from pre-op communications with his team through admission at Western Wake Med was seamless, including insurance preapprovals. The surgery itself went perfectly and I went from having a conversation with a nurse to waking up with no pain in my hip for the first time in 5 years. I was up putting full weight on it that same day and was walking on it the follow... read more

I would highly recommend Dr. Ruffalo to anyone needing anterior hip replacement surgery. Dr. Ruffalo took the time to explain the surgery to ensure I knew what to expect. I was nervous and had many questions. Dr. Ruffalo answered all of my questions and I left his office feeling comfortable in my decision to have the surgery. Dr. Ruffalo has a great bed side manner, and he is a very patient and caring doctor. My hip replacement surgery was a success. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome! I would be remiss if I didn’t m... read more

I had both knees replaced (Jan 29th and Aug 6th) by Dr Ruffolo. He's the best of the best. I met with him last year and he explained everything very carefully so even I could understand what to expect. I'm a soccer referee having refereed college and USL pro soccer. All my friends that had their knees replaced were always asking me what I was waiting for. After each knee replacement I was back on the soccer field refereeing. I feel more than great now because I'm pain free and have new knees. I ran today and it felt great - ... read more

Dr. Ruffolo is the best orthopedic surgeon I have ever had and I have had 2 hips replaced and both knees have a partial knee replacement. I moved to Garner and my last partial knee was done by Dr. Ruffolo. From the moment I meet him I felt true concern and a caring personality with him. It was the most successful surgery I have had. I highly reccomend him.
