Comments From Patients
having Ruth Palma as my practitioner gives me the sense of security that I need when it comes to my health and well being. She cares!!
I am very pleased with Ruth Palma and the others that I have had contact with at the clinic!
I have always came to the Corvallis clinic from Albany & I am very happy with all the care I have received here
Ruth is the best PCP I have had, ever. She is concerned, professional, and, most importantly, we work together on my treatment plans.
Ruth always takes the time to listen to me, and her knowledge, experience and bedside manner put me at ease. She is the best PCP I’ve ever had.
