About Me

Millions of women are affected yearly by uterine fibroids, endometriosis, pelvic pain and ovarian cysts. I specialize in laparoscopic surgery, which is minimally invasive and offers a faster recovery time and fewer complications for patients.

Involving my patients in their medical decision-making is something I strongly believe in as a physician. Creating a medical and surgical plan that aligns with a patient's personal treatment goals is essential. 

I want patients to know that I am committed to providing high-quality, compassionate care supported by medical literature and best-practice guidelines.

I am committed to providing high-quality, compassionate care.

  • Dr. Ruhotina gave me her full attention and was very engaged with me, and she patiently answered all the questions I had. She's awesome.
  • The doctor was very considerate, thorough and upbeat. My visit with her was completely a positive experience.
  • She was fantastic, all around. I had all my questions answered in detail and she took time to explain everything about my diagnosis and steps forward to me.
  • I went in for major surgery (Total hysterectomy), it would have been nice to have some printed educational materials give to me before for reference. I was given more information at my colonoscopy then I was given for this.
  • Dr. Ruhotina was fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable, explained everything thoroughly and empathetic to my situation. I've already recommended her to multiple people. I have full confidence that my surgery will be a success.
  • Doctor was running late so seemed like appointment was rushed and results weren't explained as I was hopping. I didn't get to ask as many questions as planned, left me feeling worried as I had waited for this appointment for so long and then many questions and answers where never brought up and answered. Not saying it was anyone fault just wish this important of an appointment went different especially with somebody with my Anxiety,
