His nurse was very arrogant. Thank goodness we didn't have another office visit. Diagnosis was that there was nothing wrong although the patient ended up dying a few months later.

Great doctor, nursing, and student practitioners. Wish I could say the same about the receptionist staff.

I was made to feel uncarred for, intimidated, and I didn't care for the political rant. I am very nervous, and probably will not return to this office.

Dr. Rusco goes above and beyond. He is caring and very attentive. He is always willing to discuss a concern and doesn't ignore older folks like some doctors often do. He has an excellent bedside manner.

I have been seeing Dr. Rusco for many years. It is unfortunate that because of an insurance change by my company I will not be able to see him any longer. I am very disappointed that this office does not take Cigna Health Insurance.
