Dr. Bill Ruzicka is the Best Doctor. He Is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and truly cares about his patients. I never feel Rush at my appointments. He always answers all my questions/concerns. I surely hope Bill never leaves this area. I spent almost 10 years looking for a replacement doctor after mine retired that I had seen for 30years. This is also the first Kadlec clinic that answers Kchart messages promptly. Prior to this clinic I was at another Kadlec clinic that would take over a week to respond. I love this clinic Dr Bill and Staff.
Providence Patient
W. Ruzika is an excellent medical provider.
Providence Patient
No bad experiences at all. I guess I'm spoiled, if I need to talk with someone I either get an answer or a prescription request nearly immediately. Everyone is professional and if I find someone who doesn't know the answer to my questions, they find someone who does.
Providence Patient
Very professional and caring

I appreciate and trust William Ruzicka . He is attentive, friendly and very helpful. I do find it hard to get an appointment in a timely manner when there is an immediate need. My wife and I expressed this to Ruzicka at our 10-12 visit. He explained procedures in the works to alleviate that specific problem. I am thankful he and the office ser the need and are seeking a solution. I desire and look forward to continue seeing him as my primary care giver.

Bill is an excellent primary care physician that I owe my life to! If he hadn't found my prostate cancer when he did, I may not be here! He sent me to an excellent urologist who recommended I see genesis health care for radiation treatment. Now I'm cancer free and doing better each day!

Everything aspect of the visit was very good. I was treated with the upmost of respect throughout the visit and scheduling and contacts.
Providence Patient
Dr. Ruzicka is by far one of the best doctors I've ever had. I previously had a doctor I really loved and trusted, and when he left the practice it was really hard for me to find someone else. My last doctor was less than pleasant and didn't listen to my concerns with myself and my kids. I switched to Bill Ruzicka, and I really feel that he cares about the health and well-being of myself and my children. He is so good with my kids. He Is always smiley and goofy with them, and talks them through the things he Is doing In a way that they can understand, so they feel very comfortable around him and are always excited to see him! He listens to my concerns, and takes the time to help me understand issues I am having with my health. He will provide me with a few options and give me the pros and cons, but let's me help decide what decision to make. I will be heartbroken if he ever leaves!
Providence Patient
Everyone at this office is awesome. I am glad I have him take care of my health issues
Providence Patient

Providence Patient
He listens well and always answered the best he could. Some questions don't have ready answers, and that is fine.
Providence Patient
I truly cannot say enough good things about Bill. He is just so kind, so caring, so compassionate, and so respectful. I am terrified of seeing health care professionals and he always puts me at ease.
