Patient Reviews
Mar 04, 2024
I followed up with Dr. Ruffin and he was knowledgeable about the treatment I was provided previously. I was clueless about using the STIMs unit, so I asked him to help me figure out how to use it correctly. Before I left the office, he made sure that I was able to use the device and understood my treatment plan going forward.
