Read Bio

Kenneth J. Ruiz is a board-certified physician associate with a passion for using his surgical experience and keen aesthetic eye to provide patients with life-enhancing treatment results. PA Ken obtained his degree in PA studies from Touro College. From there, he trained in New York's most prestigious medical centers including New York Presbyterian Hospital, NYU Langone and St. Francis Hospital.
