About Kyle W Ruffing

I’m Dr. Kyle Ruffing, and I joined the UF Health team in November 2022.

I obtained both my undergraduate degree and medical degree here at the University of Florida, where I was a member of the UF Junior Honors Medical Program. Following graduation in 1993, I traveled to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor to complete an internship, neurology residency, and fellowship in neuromuscular disorders and electromyography.

Before joining the team at UF Health, I practiced neurology and neuromuscular medicine in beautiful Sarasota, Florida.

I am board certified in neurology, electromyography and neuromuscular medicine.
