Xavier L. Ruiz, MD

I tailor my approach to each of my patient's unique needs. I listen to patients and give them an opportunity to tell me their story. I take time to answer questions. I try to provide education and be as thorough as possible when I provide recommendations. My journey into medicine was fueled by the desire to directly impact patients' lives. Specializing in gastrointestinal (GI) medicine allows me to address issues that can have a large impact on a person's day-to-day life. Patients find reassurance that there is a plan in place. I'm here to support them and they have someone to reach out to. When I can see an improvement in a patient's quality of life and prevent a bad outcome, that feels rewarding to me. I enjoy being able to diagnose problems, offer solutions, and witness tangible improvement. It's a privilege to make a positive impact on patients' well-being and to provide them with the care and support they need to thrive.

I'm committed to giving compassionate, personalized care. I value connecting with families as they seek answers to their child’s cardiac care. The best outcome for me is when a child or family leaves a clinic visit or hospital stay feeling heard, understood, and empowered to handle their unique heart health. It's an honor to see children grow and accomplish amazing things, and I'm grateful to be a part of their journey. I know healthcare can be tricky, so I'm here to support the whole family as they interact with the healthcare system and handle new diagnoses or life-changing events. A positive patient experience is central to how I practice medicine; I like knowing kids of all ages look forward to seeing me and they trust that I'll support them through whatever comes their way.
