Sonia M Ruiz, MD

"Dr Ruiz was very thorough. She has great bed side manners and front desk was very kind and answered all my questions."

"My son was always sick, and the others doctors always said it was because the daycare and I get it, but every week my soon was loosing daycare time, until we found doctor Sonia. She changed his vitamins and everything and he is the healthiest boy. He gets sick once in a while (don’t get me wrong) but she is the best pediatrician I know. She is not there to waist her time so she goes strictly to the point which is something I appreciate it. She is a great professional and I’m pretty sure she’ll be our pediatrician until he becomes an adult."

"Just horrible. We recently moved to Tampa,Florida with our newborn who was due for his 2 month appointment. Not only did they cancel his appointment without notifying, they also lost my paperwork and couldn’t find my appointment slot which I made in office when I appeared the week before! They made us wait 2 hours while verifying my insurance which was provided a week ago. She was very unprofessional - instead of seeing one patient at a time, she was hopping from one room to another. She condescendingly gave me advice that went against all the other pediatricians’ at the hospitals and previous office that we visited before relocating. She prescribed medications without reasoning and when asked what vaccines she was prescribing, she wouldn’t name them and just constantly said he was getting 6 - made me feel like I’m so stupid for not knowing beforehand. I also found her rude when she made the comment that I need to do whatever it takes to keep my son from crying…for heavens sake he’s only 2 months old. Safe to say, we won’t be returning and will be finding a new pediatrician!"

"We moved from Miami to Valrico about 2 yrs ago, had to find a pediatrician and came across Dr Ruiz on Google and noticed she had really good reviews. Since day 1 this doctor has been unprofessional, rude, impatient, etc... She's always prescribing vitamins from a website which she gets credit from that my son does not need. She's more of a salesman than a pediatrician. Also, there's always an issue for her to fill out paperwork for school or therapy that my son needs. Looking for a new pediatrician, any recommendations? Please do not bring your child to this doctor, she will make you feel like you're doing everything wrong as a parent...."
