Dr. Ruskin was not only patient, but very thorough. He explained everything to me in simple terms that I could understand. He took his time, I never felt rushed. He was very personable.

He is a well-recommended specialist who's been practicing a long time. Several friends has used him. I would have welcomed a more warm-fuzzy, caring approach in his bedside manner, particularly being as worried as I was, but found him polite but fairly brusque, quick to terminate our visit, and not a good listener. I wasn't there to waste his time unnecessarily & respect scheduling constraints, but felt he could have spent more time with me & been more open to discuss my concerns.

Dr. Ruskin's staff is compassionate and helpful; they are accommodating and give appointments even on short notice to fit into busy schedules. Dr. Ruskin himself is punctual and has an incredible "bedside" manner. He listens to the patients and explores conservative options before jumping into more aggressive treatment methods.

Dr. Ruskin is an extremely professional and compassionate doctor that was recommended to me by a friend - without his help and knowledge my life would be much more miserable than it currently is. Thank you, Dr. Ruskin!
