  • Kind and great bedside manner

  • I was not impressed at my 1st visit and we had a personality clash. I like honest info even if negative and he tends to make light of situation that to me is serious. 2nd meeting was better since I understand him more. I'm sure he tries to make us feel better with jovial manner.

  • Good experience

  • Dr. Runz is top notch as my care physician. He is attentive, treats you with dignity and respect always and I comopletely trust him. He is very pleasant and Extremely good at what he does. I was not nervous or uncomfortable at all. He explained everything in great detail in every step of the examination and referred me to another specialist for my issue, which I appreciate. I would always see him, as well as recommend him, for urinary issues.

  • Dr. Runz is an excellent, caring doctor. He listens carefully to my concerns and questions and has always made good suggestions about future testing and evaluations. I would recommend him unconditionally to my family and friends.

  • Excellent care!

  • Too rushed. Yes, it is true my results were positive, but little time was spent with me. I bet that appointment didn't last 3 minutes. Totally unnecessary visit. It should have been a phone call.

  • Very social

  • Felt any concerns I had were dismissed, physician kept returning to his agenda he had When he first saw my chart. Showed a little deviation from what his original opinion was and how he wished to proceed.

  • Felt rushed. Never got primary question asked - or answered.
