Dr. Paul E Ruskin, MD

He is an awful and pathetic doctor! My mental health VA C&P exam in 2015 was a 58-minute sham. He got so many facts wrong, conveniently blamed everything on my difficult childhood experiences, and downplayed everything important that was relevant for an accurate PTSD Dx under the DSM-V. He is as crooked as they come. Another C&P exam should have been ordered. I complained, but nothing was done, of course. Nine other MDs, psychologists, and mental health counselors Dx’d PTSD. Yet, I was one check box away from him diagnosing PTSD. The active duty in-service stressor was clearly documented, there was a current diagnosis, numerous symptoms were present, and the required nexus was made. He sent me on a 10-year appeals path and traumatized me all over again! Way to go, Ruskin! How do you live with yourself?
