7 months after my breast lift my scars are thick, dark and very,very painful, my breasts are 2 different sizes at least a half a cup size difference from the left breast to the right. plus I discussed that I wanted to keep my cup size and if needed I would pay for implants I was told they would only be a little smaller but they are 2 full cup sizes smaller(half the size as before). They won’t return my inquiries and after the first month never heard a word from them. They are completely ignoring me

This doctor made me feel like sh*t the entire time I was with him. I felt belittled and he was dismissive of my concerns. In the end he ended up giving me a procedure on my face that I didn't even ask for. Listen to the other people who have said they hated coming here, and stay away.

Wow wow wow!!! Thank you!! I am thrilled beyond words at how wonderful my eyes look after upper eyelid surgery and lower laser resurfacing. You are a miracle worker because you turned back the clock by about 20 years for me.

I’m 15 months post op tummy tuck and still in a great deal of pain. I’m still wearing compression garments 24/7. I could tell at my last appointment with Dr Rucker (8 months post op)he was blowing me off and never told me to make any more follow up appointments. I left his office crying. I have waited all this time for the pain to subside to only be disappointed. I now have to find another Dr.

Stay away from this doctor!!! He is cruel and has disfigured so many women’s bodies beyond repair... makes me sick to think that he is still practicing. Please put an end to it now. Say NO and run!!!
