As a 36-year-old woman who has always dreamed of having breasts but never took the leap—meeting Dr. Ruane changed everything for me. I work in healthcare, so I’ve seen it all: the good, the bad, and everything in between. But Dr. Ruane isn’t just a “good doctor”—he’s a unicorn. Truly one of a kind. From the very first consultation, I felt heard, respected, and completely at ease. Dr. Ruane was incredibly patient and professional. He took the time to understand what I wanted and
Dr. Ruane is not only an amazing surgeon but also a really amazing person. He is so kind and reassuring. I was terrified for surgery but felt at ease as soon as he came in on surgery morning. I am not sure how he did it but I had minimal pain (only took 2 pain pills total) and what I would consider an easy recovery. I felt pretty much back to normal by day 3 post op but still took it easy, as he directed. My results at 6 weeks out are better than I could have imagined and I would
Dr. Ruane is the GOAT!! He is beyond kind and reassuring through the entire process and believe me it is a process! I got a BA and he provided the greatest care! He is kind and cares very much about his work and final product! I am a tuff patient (very indecisive) and Dr. Ruane never lost his patience and kindness with me. If I could describe his bed side manor in one word I would say "gentle" . He gave me the room to change my mind and work through exactly what I was looking
It's truly challenging to put into words the exceptional talent and compassionate nature of this remarkable plastic surgeon. After an exhaustive decade-long search and consultations with plastic surgeons both within and outside the United States, I'm immensely grateful to have found Dr. Ruane as my plastic surgeon. He is nothing short of exceptional. Dr. Ruane epitomizes the pinnacle of care, possessing unparalleled surgical skills, medical expertise, and surgical proficiency.
I cannot recommend Dr. Ruane enough. I initially saw him for a breast lift which he completed 08/2022 and I was very satisfied with the results and care I received from the doctor and his staff. I have since had a tummy tuck (12/2022) and arm lift (05/2023) and my results are better than I could have imagined. I recommend him to anyone in the Pittsburgh area who is seeking a skilled, caring, surgeon whose results speak for themselves.
December 8, 2021, I heard the words that nobody wants to hear...you have breast cancer. I was a candidate for a double mastectomy with reconstructive surgery. On March 31, 2022, I had both procedures done at the same time. When I had my consultation with Dr. Ruane, I was uncertain what the procedure entailed. He exceeded my expectations with how he explained everything in detail and was so compassionate as he knew my diagnosis. He spoke to me with the utmost respect. I am so thankful
I can not say enough good things about Dr. Ruane. If you are looking for a fantastic dr you have found him. Dr. Ruane is seriously a MASTER at his craft. I came to him with a botched surgery and he completely gave me back my confidence. When looking at my chest you'd never be able to tell that one they are fake and two that they are a reconstruction after a double mastectomy. Truly an artist. Not only is he a great surgeon he and his entire staff are so kind and accommodating.
Dr Ruane is the definition of a true professional and an artist. He and his staff made me feel so comfortable from the moment I walked into the office. I asked for his opinion on the procedures he felt would give me the best results and he answered honestly. He didn’t try to sell me on extra unnecessary services. I booked the same day and had my surgery about 6 weeks later. I also had a hernia repair completed at the same time by a general surgeon and the coordination between
Dr. Ruane is absolutely amazing. I’ve never felt so comfortable with someone. He’s honest, straight forward, and very personable. You’re never just a number. He becomes family. Other than a great experience my breasts and stomach are beyond my expectations. After having 6 children I’ve never been happier with myself.
I had a mommy makeover by Dr. Ruane with abdominoplasty and breast augmentation. This was combined with an umbilical hernia repair by a local general surgeon. I’m thrilled with my results (pics are 9 months postop). From my first consultation, Dr. Ruane provided thorough information about the procedure as well as the opportunity to view his prior outcomes with patients with a similar build. I left feeling encouraged about what he could achieve and confident in his abilities. I
