Robert O. RuderDr

He’s called Ruder for a reason avoid at all costs!! He refused to cooperate, I have a condition that makes it hard for me to do certain exams and instead of asking about them or trying to find a path forward in a professional civil way, he got aggressive and verbally abusive and said I was being ridiculous. Aside from his rude and aggressive tone and the way he gripped me angrily to do the exam he came in 35 mins late to the appointment. Unprofessional on all accounts. Please save your time and go elsewhere. A doctor is supposed to help patients and if he cannot, he should do so in a respectful manner. I walked away and didn’t complete the appointment as his anger issues made me feel threatened and it made me doubt his competence. In this day and age, a doctor needs to be creative and help patients in their time of need and not make them feel unsafe because they are too lazy to do extra work when their patient needs it. Such a disappointment and I hope this review helps someone else avoid this type of encounter.

Dr. Ruder was assigned to take care of my infant son after he nearly died from an adverse reaction to sedation for a Baer scan at a nearby hospital. He’s one of the most caring and dedicated doctors that I’ve encountered.

Disregard for patients. I made an appointment with the front desk after telling them my insurance authorization was approved. I take time off work, drive 30 minutes, and get almost an hour early as directed in the email to fill out paperwork. After filling out paperwork the front desk tells me since I have an HMO the doctor will only see me as a telephone visit. No one told me this when I made my appointment so how am I supposed to know that? But the front desk says it’s the office policy. I can be rescheduled for 1 week later that lll get a call from the doctor during a 4 hour window. Not even an actual appointment, so we should expect to wait 4 hours for a call for the doctor to then see me in the office. Even though I’m already there. So I asked in several ways for exceptions since I was not told this prior to coming but there’s no budging. This is a disregard for the patients time on the office end. So I said my appointment is now anyways and I would be with the doctor at this time, I asked the front desk “can you ask the dr and explain my situation and ask if he’s willing to 1) see me since I’m here, or 2) do my telephone appointment during this time. Since he’s scheduled to see me anyways. The front desk reported that the doctor said no. So this is a disrespect of the patient’s time on the physician side as well. If there’s a blatant disregard for the patient on both the managerial and doctor side then I can’t imagine how I would be treated under the knife. This scenario is just bad practice and payers and patients should know this before giving their money to this physician. There are other ENTs in Los Angeles who respect their patients.

Rude Doctor Warning. I recently had a terrible experience with this doctor who was incredibly rude and arrogant. From the moment I stepped into the office,...

The best in his field. Warm, caring and very knowledgeable. Always available to speak and provide the best care. Dr Ruder saved my life. When other doctors could not find out what was wrong with me, Dr Ruder did. I’m 20 years thyroid cancer free. He even treats my 9 year old.
