Knowledgeable, friendly, approachable, more than willing to listen to & answer my questions and concerns, thorough. She phoned me the same day that the diagnostics were completed to review! Plus, the office staff is just as nice & efficient!

Very thorough and caring and explained thing to a T. Was not about giving meds more about getting to the root of all issues. She would take an hour just to explain one thing if it took an hour to get you to understand because your understanding is that important. However her leaving was the worst thing that has ever happened.

I had been a patient of Dr. Rusia's for more than two years, till I moved out of state. While at times I was seen past my appointment time, it was worth it knowing she takes her time getting to know her patients. She has went through her lunch without hesitation to get to the root of the problem. I greatly appreciate her dedication and passion for her patients.
