Patient Reviews
Feb 21, 2022
You will not cross paths with anyone better than Dr. Hope Rugo. She is the best I've ever encountered in this field. I'm a Breast Cancer advocate for newly diagnose women. I've seen her add a decade to women who've been told by other doctors they only had a couple of years left. I've seen her stay all hours of the night just to make sure she sees every one of her patients that had been scheduled that day. I've see her educate other doctors that were considered "experts" and "the best" who were using harmful chemo treatments on the women I brought to her. She is God sent and so many lives are depending on her that every second of her time is demanded. If you are annoyed by the long waits or the chaos of the clinic then you are missing the point. She and her staff are fighting the biggest battles of your lives and they are winning. Your battle is not going to be comfortable but her care can not be beaten. Don't be discouraged. If you are a patient of Dr. Rugo you are winning.
