Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Actually felt listened to
Never felt like doctors helped me in the past. Dr. Rusk listened to me and helped me with my cerebral palsy needs, within one appointment. Other doctors would try to down play my disability and rush me out. I live almost an hour away, and will only go to him. He’s worth it!

Dr. Rusk listened,and answered each question(s) I had. He explained everything in detail. He takes as much time as needed to talk to you and never felt rushed. He talked to you and not at you like others. I highly recommend Dr Rusk. His office staff is excellent as well. All of them are very nice, professional, friendly and helpful. Thank you so much Dr Rusk!!!

I see him for migraines and arm weakness. He has helped me get the migraines under control. I suggest him to people all the time because he thinks outside the box and is great at explaining the cause of the problem.

I had been in declining health for about a year. No other doctor could pinpoint exactly what was wrong until I was set to Dr Rusk. It only took one office visit for him to make a temporary diagnosis until all the blood tests and spinal tap results were in. He was exactly right about my diagnosis. He got me into treatment right away and followed up very closely with me. I am very grateful that we have such an excellent doctor available to us!
