Dr. John Armitage Rusca

He ruined my stomach. My self esteem has suffered for years. My stomach is a cottage cheese mess. I can’t afford to have it fixed

I had a calf implant due to a birth defect. Dr. Rusca assured me he had worked with similar patients Including his grandson that was born with a clubfoot. To make a long story short he placed and implant that was to big for my leg. I had to get the implant removed and take antibiotics for months. I thought I was going to loose my leg over the infection and the incision would not close. Dr. Rusca did not show any compassion after collecting his $10,000. He didn't even want to see me to take the stitches out after removing the implant. He told my husband we could simply do it at home. I was horrified by the lack of professionalism. He lied and not only took my money but left me with and awful scar.

I had 5 opeartions to correct his mistakes. please be careful.

"Beautiful", "Looks so natural", "You look 20 years younger" - these are comments I have been getting since allowing Dr. Rusca to perform his magic on me! I had a face lift. I am almost 60 years old. Yesterday a woman thought I was 40. I am still smiling! Thank you Dr. Rusca You are the only plastic surgeon for me!

I'm a 37yr old female who recently had eye surgery to remove the bags under my eyes. The procedure was explained in a clear and succint manner and Dr. Rusca made sure that I understood everything. I was not rushed through the consultation and all of my questions were answered with the utmost professionalism. The surgery was a dream. I look and feel great! No bruising at all but that was because I followed all post-surgery instructions to the letter. I love my eyes and will definitely go back to Dr. Rusca when I reach "that certain age." And the staff - wonderful and caring. I highly recommend Dr. Rusca!

I have assisted and witnessed thousands of surgeries including plastic reconstructive surgeons over 34 years, Dr. Rusca is excellent surgeon and artist. Plastic surgery is an art and science. His technique is unique and with exceptional outcomes. I admire his dedication for perfection, straight forward communication and patient safety that I have had several reconstructive surgeries by him and his surgical team. I underwent a full face lift and all I wanted was to "look rested", "peaceful" and "happy" and to have lips like Angelina Jolie. Dr. Rusca highly encouraged me and would not do that to my lips because of my facial structure so I listened to him. Many of my friends could not tell that I had surgery but that I looked like "weight had been lifted off my shoulders". In the future, I will once again use Dr. Rusca. He is committed to providing the ultimate safety experience with positive outcomes. He believes that well-informed patients will participate in improving their… overall health, not just "plastic" surgery. Safety is his number one priority! As I have read regarding "bed side manner", my opinion is that you do not become the best by letting the patients dictate their care. The surgeon is the professional and sometimes they have to be stern and direct for patients to listen and the patients get their "feelings" hurt, get over it. You want the best! Dr. Rusca is the best!

Dr. Rusca and his staff were most professional and caring--I feel right at home there, very welcomed and listened to. Staff is excellent and goes to any length to help, whether that is appointment, information, or products. Dr. Rusca gives me all the time I need. and I am pleased with the results of surgery and botox injections I have gotten there. I really vote with my feet and I continue to go to Dr. Rusca for my cosmetic procedures--I appreciate his experience, value his opinion and am grateful for his skill.

An "artist" in plastic surgery! Doesn't perform surgery he doesn't believe a patient should have. For example, I asked him to enlarge my lips, but he refused saying my lips were fine for my face and would not look attractive larger.His professiionalism is unprecedented, and that of his office staff is as well. He did my face lift which is extremely natural; not pulled. I still look like me! I was more than happy with the end restuls.

A true artist. A friend had Dr. Rusca do a face lift and it was the most natural looking you can imagine. I then had mine done (face, nose, eyes) and recommended him to three others all of whom got outstanding results and are incredibly pleased with the results.And the office staff was as helpful and friendly as you would desire. Dr Rusca personally contacted me on multiple occasions after the surgery to see how I was doing. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Even many years later, I still get comments on my youthful appearance and most think I am 10+ years younger than I am.

Bad experience with Dr. Rusca injecting Juvederm. Overinjected lips in general and then I also ended up with a huge lump. Have had to go to another su ...
