Patient Reviews
Mar 09, 2019
I had an excellent experience during my initial appointment with Dr Rutkoski today. He was very thorough and answered all of our questions (my husband was along for this appointment and had his own questions and concerns). Dr. Rutkoski spent A LOT of time with us and I was very appreciative of his effort to make us feel comfortable with the procedure and all that is involved both pre op and post op. I feel that all of my questions and concerns were addressed. Thank you Dr R and staff!
