Dr. Ruud is forever calm and caring. He stays on top of current practices/researches and is active in his professional organization (Past President Texas Society of Medical Oncology). He's the nicest doctor one can get when getting a breast cancer diagnosis that requires chemotherapy.
He has been the medical oncologist over my two bouts of breast cancer spanning seven years. While the Director of Breast Cancer Clinic at Scott & White Hospital and Assistant Professor - Internal Medicine of Texas A&M University College of Medicine in Temple, Texas, he's forever humble and continues to put his patients' interests first.
His staff are loyal to him, so are his patients - mostly because he is a devoted doctor who is genuinely concerned about his patients. One could never guess this mild- mannered doctor holds three specialties (Internal medicine, oncology, hematology/oncology) and had done his fellowships at Mayo Clinic in Developmental Oncology, Hematology and Medical Oncology. He's even got a special training in Clinical Pharmacology (from Baylor College of Medicine!)
He is a doctor who can calm your nerves when you are panicking; who can dispense the medicine for your ailment; who can give answers to your questions. (He'd even figured out my mild 'depression' one time by giving me a paper/pencil assessment.)
Most importantly, he respect his patients and allows them to be themselves.
I would recommend him to anyone who's been diagnosed with breast cancer. It's not pure luck that I will be celebrate my 7th anniversary this summer when the 5-year survival rate for Her2 breast cancer is only 26%.
