Dr Ruchim is the best and has great people skills. A lot of Drs don't. Some can barley get out a hello. At the moment, the medical industry is in a bad spot. Hospitals are failing only to be purchased for pennies on the dollar. Northwestern needs more DR. Ruchim's. That is how you build loyalty and a Brand.

Dr. Ruchim is a true professional and spent time with me both before and after the procedure. Additionally, he is always willing to answer any questions I posed without any signs of exasperation. This was at least the third colonoscopy he has performed for me and he and his staff have always been superb. The good news is that he has indicated that my most recent colonoscopy is my last due to my positive results; the bad news is that I am going to miss the quality of care he and his staff have always delivered.
