General Info
Dr. Ruan has a unique view when practicing medicine. He comes from a family of Chinese Medical Doctors who focuses on natural healing and using food as medicine. The combination of eastern and western approaches is what makes Dr. Ruan unique in his approach to health and wellness. "After attending medical school, I realized that the focus on nutrition was minimal. During my residency training, while I received some of the best medical training in New York City, I still lacked true knowledge in preventative care. I sought to learn how nutrition affects our bodies. I began my research in nutrition by studying the concepts of functional medicine, Chinese medicine, and buried my head in many nutrition journals. I found that many chronic diseases can not only be treated by optimizing nutrition, but they can also be reversed. In 2015 I noticed that by using the dietary recommendations by current guidelines, I had tremendous trouble in trying to get people off of medicine for Type 2 Diabetes. It was at this time I began creating my own diet plan for my own patients. My philosophy in practicing medicine truly lies in the focus on reversing chronic disease. Although not all chronic illnesses can be cured, we can focus on significantly improving our quality of life by working together to put an end to unnecessary suffering."

Excellent Functional Medicine Doctor

I have been a patient of Dr. Cheng Ruan for three years. I greatly appreciate his functional medicine approach to solving patient's issues (not instantly prescribing prescription meds and rushing out the door). He is patient, listens and asks relevant questions during the visit. He is open-minded, well educated and very knowledgeable about eastern, western, holistic and cutting edge medicine. He and his staff work as a team to provide the best care possible for their patients.

jenny

Dr. Ruan...its Linda Zimmermann. Since Jenny is not yet listed to review, i am sending this directly to you. You & your staff have been wonderful helping me navigate my medical issues & I thank you so much for that. Today was my first meeting with Jenny who has recently joined your staff. I wanted to let you know immediately how very impressed I am with what she brings to your group in the total approach to health. NO one offers what your practice does. I had the most positive appointment with Jenny in so many ways it's hard to describe in words. I leave your office with greater hope in my heart for my personal recovery today. THANK YOU for recognizing the need for someone like Jenny. I pray she will be with you for many years to come! Sincerely, Linda Zimmermann

Dr, Ruan is incredibly intuitive, perceptive and clinical in making a thorough diagnosis.

Dr. Ruan and his staff were extremely patient and very thorough. They addressed all of my health concerns and were eager to find the underlying issues, not just treating the symptoms. I would highly recommend their services.

Caring and Intelligent

Dr Ruan cares about people and addresses issues in a caring and not judgmental way. He is very intelligent but does not make the patient feel stupid.

Each of us hold the power to heal ourselves

Working with Dr. Ruan has been one of the greatest joys of my life. I love working with someone who doesn't make me sit in the waiting room for 2 hours to only rush me out of his office in 15 minutes. Dr. Ruan and his team discuss your symptoms briefly... take the necessary steps to diagnose... and then work with you to construct a healing blueprint. Empowered and hopeful are two words that would best describe how I feel every time I leave his office.
