About

Marco Ruiz, MD chose his career in Family Medicine so he could focus on helping his patients with their overall health to lead longer, healthier lives using evidence-based medicine. He wants to build meaningful, genuine relationships with his patients and inspire them to take ownership of their own health as he teaches them how to make a big difference with the right tools.

Dr. Ruiz feels it is most important to educate his patients on the “why” when he prescribes treatment and care. He believes in complete transparency when it comes to healthcare decision making and always has his patients’ best interests at heart while treating them like his own family.

Dr. Ruiz grew up in a Southern, mid-sized town in Texas called Laredo and comfortably speaks Spanish. Outside of the office, he enjoys classical music, attending live concerts, playing the Marimba, hiking, traveling, and reading up on the latest technology advances.  In college, he studied music alongside medicine and continues to keep music part of his daily life. Wherever possible, Dr. Ruiz likes to add humor into his life with good jokes and clever puns.

Dr. Ruiz was incredibly kind, well-spoken, and patient. He listened intently and made me feel like he genuinely cared about my concerns, which is not always easy to find. The best way I can put it is that I genuinely felt like I was a person there, not just a patient. I would absolutely recommend him as a practitioner to anyone.Aside from his amazing personality and attentiveness, he was also extremely informative. He explained everything in a way that felt clear, reassuring, and never rushed. I also want to express how wonderful his entire team was from the moment I walked in. Cathy, the nurse who took my vitals and assisted Dr. Ruiz, was amazing, and Lupe, the phlebotomist who drew my blood, was also incredible. I honestly could not believe I didn’t feel a thing when he drew my blood because I am a huge baby when it comes to that. He made it so quick, gentle, and easy.I’m beyond impressed with the welcoming, positive, and caring environment this facility has created. Dr. Ruiz and his team have such great energy, professionalism, and warmth. They made me feel comfortable from start to finish, and I’m truly grateful for such a great experience. I would highly recommend Dr. Ruiz to anyone looking for a doctor who is knowledgeable, compassionate, attentive, personable, and genuinely invested in making his patients feel safe and cared for.
