Dr. Ruffin is exceptional. I had seen several perfectly nice ENTs over the past year for painful throat irritation, but Dr. Ruffin stands out, both in efficacy and compassion. Beyond his clear talents as a doctor, he is truly an attentive listener and went out of his way to thoroughly understand my symptoms and lifestyle. His insightful questions and kind demeanor were only parts of his extraordinary attention to detail that never wavered throughout all of my appointments. His regimen gave me unique recourse for long-term treatment, was perfectly tailored to me, and resolved my issues in a matter of weeks. His dedication to his patients is evident and I'm so grateful for his distinguished care.

Dr. Chad Ruffin is a talented surgeon and an excellent doctor. My 93 year old father had fallen and injured his face. He received stitches in the ER and had applied ice for a month but the swelling over his eyebrow remained extremely pronounced and was very ugly. Dr. Ruffin recommended and performed a surgery to remove the hematoma which was very close to his optic nerve. The results were excellent - there is no bump and no scar and my father is no longer embarrassed to be seen outside or frightened by seeing his own face in the mirror. Additionally and possibly more exceptionally, Dr. Ruffin treated my father holistically as his patient. He learned how he had fallen and recommended physical therapy at a clinic specializing in balance. My father has been going for balance therapy weekly and doing daily exercises at home and is now much stronger physically and much more steady on his feet. I highly recommend Dr. Ruffin as a caring doctor and an excellent surgeon.

I highly recommend Dr. Ruffin; I was referred to him by a well-established ENT in Seattle for Dr. Ruffin’s expertise with Tinnitus. Dr. Ruffin has been very helpful, caring and understanding of my condition. My prior experience with doctors in general has been fine, though they typically lack compassion; which is completely opposite for Dr. Ruffin who has been very compassionate towards my chronic condition. Dr. Ruffin has put me in touch with helpful resources other doctors had not suggested. He also on his own time is following up with my other care providers that are all part of trying to find a solution to lessen the severity of my Tinnitus. He gets my vote for best ENT in Seattle!

Persons with disabilities are often distrustful of our health care system because they face discrimination and lack access to appropriate care. I firmly believe that the diversity of the medical profession should reflect the diversity of the patient populations. Having more physicians, like Dr. Ruffin, with shared experiences in having cochlear implants and being hard of hearing helps people like me to feel more comfortable. It is genuinely reaffirming and refreshing to partner with a physician who has personal experience with the issues they provide counsel.

Dr. Ruffin treated me with upmost respect and compassion as he helped me come to terms with the challenges my hearing loss presents in my daily life. His personal experience with his own loss made it so that he was able to help me find unique and effective solutions to help me live my life and pursue my career without limitation. I have seen a good handful of ENTs over my 27 year hearing loss, and he is truly distinguished. Thank you Dr. Ruffin!
