I had been jumping from providers for a year and a half trying to find someone I clicked with who would also explain why they were doing things. Ruiz has been great on all accounts.

I recently took both my parents (in their 70s) to see Dr. Steven Ruiz and it was a great experience. Their family doctor would not listen to their concerns and Dr. Ruiz was quite the opposite. He really listened to them, gave them great advice and referred them to the right specialists. If your doctor denies help or referrals, I highly recommend visiting Dr. Ruiz. He is extremely helpful, personable and professional.

PARKWAY HEALTH CENTER

In my humble opinion, Dr. Ruiz is truly the only consistently positive experience I've had at the U. Whether he's able to treat the issue directly or needs to refer me elsewhere, his bedside manner is what sets him apart'empathetic, kind, and deeply respectful. He genuinely listens, which is such a rare and valuable quality in a doctor. You never feel rushed or dismissed; he makes you feel heard, seen, and cared for. I've been willing to travel 30 miles just to see him specifically, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. That's how much his compassion and professionalism mean to me. I'll admit, I haven't always been the easiest patient'not because of anything he's done, but just from the frustration of being sick and bounced around to specialists. Even then, he's remained incredibly patient and understanding, never taking it personally, which says a lot about his character. Ruiz is a true gem in this practice, and I deeply appreciate him.

Steve gets 10 stars in my book! He is the only person I see when I come to UofU Health for my appointments. I trust him wholeheartedly.

I hope I never have to see anyone BUT Steve for my medical needs. He is seriously the best :)

He is the best doctor I have ever had. He was my doctor when I was 16 and didn't feel like anyone was listening to my pain. He found answers and always cared. As soon as I saw he was at the U he immediately became my doctor again. He listens and cares about his patients over anything else.

I highly recommend dr Ruiz, I hadn't seen a dr In decades and was nervous to go. But at my age my wife was encouraging me to go. I went to dr Ruiz for the flu last year and felt I was taken care of so well that I asked if he would help me figure out what testing I needed. It was hard to ask, but before I could stumble through my question he knew what I was trying to say and said he would be happy to help. I am so glad to have a dr like him. He has really helped me get into a more healthy lifestyle. All men in my situation should seek a dr like him.

If I could give 12 stars out of 10, I would. Steve Ruiz is so knowledgeable about every issue I've ever had. I have been to other doctors at urgent care when Steve wasn't available and they did not know what was wrong with me. However, when I would go to Steve a couple days later, he would know exactly what the issue was and how to treat it. Often he would tell me what he thought it might be, but refer me to a specialist, and in every case the specialist would see the same diagnosis that Steve had already seen. He is amazing and the only doctor I ever want to go to!!

I came in with a concern that could have several diagnoses and was of course worrying about the worst case scenario. I wasnt made to feel crazy or dramatic for coming in so early. He addressed the issue immediately by ordering bloodwork and putting in referrals to make sure I was seen asap by specialists. He talked through my fears with me and helped me feel less anxious and more in control even if the worst case happened.
