Dr, Ruwende was extremely kind and very professional, His knowledge was extremely impressive with other health issues that I discussed with him.

Totally unnecessary. The only reason for it was 'an over-abundance of caution'.

11/22/2021

Liked him

11/21/2021

Informative

11/20/2021

It was a very pleasant and informative experience

Very good.

11/15/2021

Waited too long and reception desk didn't do their job either we waited in that room for 25 mins.

11/13/2021

He was very helpful and told me about the aortic valve problem I have which I didn't know about before. He explained it to me.

11/12/2021

He was fine; just an hour behind.

11/08/2021

Very thorough.

11/05/2021

Very satisfied

10/27/2021

It was very positive. He listened !

10/26/2021

Love Dr. Ruewende

10/22/2021

Provider was very caring and easy to talk to.

10/21/2021

Excellent! Dr. Ruwende did an especially fine job explaining my situation and options, and it was challenging because I am in kind of a gray area. I was impressed that, even though he was running 20 minutes behind, he never seemed like rushed. My spouse and I both felt as though he were devoting his afternoon just to us.

10/18/2021

He is always caring and interested in my well-being.

10/13/2021

The doctor was very nice and explained things to understand

10/03/2021

He is outstanding.

09/30/2021

Dr. Ruwende is the best - very caring and personable when talking to me. Always gives me the time I need and answers any concern I have.

09/28/2021

All of my questions and concerns were addressed, and I was given a summary of results from a recent procedure and follow up tests. I am very pleased that some doses of medications have been reduced and another was discontinued.

09/28/2021

Pleasant, attentive, explained medications and options.

09/26/2021

Dr. Ruwende was wonderful. Very informative and clear.

09/26/2021

The doctor did his best to describe my possible heart condition and what options I might have. I really appreciated his second opinion and to make sure that my heart condition is diagnosed correctly

09/23/2021

Great

09/18/2021

Think very highly of Dr. Ruwende.

09/05/2021

Okay.

08/22/2021

I have been totally impressed and relaxed about all phases of my care. I have already recommended St. Joes to several people.

08/20/2021

Dr. Ruwende is the best. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly.

08/20/2021

This was a first time consultation about a health problem diagnosed at another facility. Dr. Ruwende was informed, helpful, attentive, and I felt I received the information I needed at this time.

08/19/2021

Care was excellent.

08/18/2021

Felt comfortable

08/18/2021

As always, very professional and cares

08/18/2021

I am in need of a new cardiologist and would like Dr. Ruwende as my cardiologist.

08/14/2021

The excessive wait time without communication was ridiculous. If another patient is 45 minutes late they should lose their spot and the dr should see other patients that are on time.

08/14/2021

This was my first visit to a cardiologist. Dr. Cyril Ruwende was very nice, very thorough, asked Me lots of questions and answered all of our questions (my wife accompanied me). Dr. Ruwende was in a rush and took all the time we needed. He explained next steps in detail until we were comfortable. Happy with the visit in a stressful situation.

08/02/2021

Very satisfied, felt confident when I left.

07/16/2021

He was great!

07/09/2021

As always, Dr. Ruwende is, in my opinion, a superb cardiologist. He listens, he explains. He comforts. This next is not about him, it's about IHA. I understand that the epidemic has seriously affected health care everywhere, not just at IHA. But I got lucky this time; Dr. R had a cancellation which I filled; otherwise his schedule is full out to October!! This is true throughout IHA. The only place I have been able to get to see a doctor WHEN I NEEDED ONE is at Urgent Care. The several docs I have seen there have been excellent . .. Knowledgeable, thorough, backed up by careful assistants (x-ray, ekg, etc.) But my regular docs: primary, pulmonary, cardiology, neurology. . . Are all scheduling out months in advance. You either need more doctors, or fewer patients.

07/01/2021

Dr. R is always kind and patient but he doesn't have any more answers than I do to why my heart health hasn't improved.

06/30/2021

Very good. I read the summary of the visit and it was informative and accurate.

06/18/2021

professional and caring.

06/18/2021

It was relatively quick

06/17/2021

Was very nice.

06/01/2021

Everything was explained very well.
