I have been with Dr. Rusche practically from the start. The first time I had to wait an hour for an appointment I told his staff it was unacceptable and left. he called me later that nite himself to apologize.That was years ago and I must say I was very arrogant and full of myself.The wait time has been longer but now that I am older , wiser and more humble I realize why the long wait. This man truly takes time and cares about each of his patients. He is worth the wait. I have read that Joann or staff were rude. Never! I consider myself blessed to have Dr. Rusche take care of me and My R.A. all these years. He is not only very humble but interested in me as a person.His staff are very courteous and professional.He is TOP DOG in my book.

Dr. Rusche is absolutely the nicest and most attentive doctor I have met in a long time. Very caring and personable to what you are going through and understanding the need for living a better life through your pain and suffering.

I truly like this man. He is the very first doctor out of MANY that cared about me being in real pain. He done and continues to do whatever it takes to give me an advantage to treat my pain that i have in several areas of my body due to arthritis. Yes, the wait time in the lobby can be long but if the patient before me is getting the same care and attention that i get at every visit then i am fine waiting. I wish there were more physicians this dedicated to their patients. Thank you Dr. Rusche

Dr. Rusche, Is a phenomenal doctor. As many has mentioned if there is a con-to him or the office it's the wait time. But for me I go there with the intention knowing I will be there for a good bit ( I have been in his office for up to 3 hours) and I'm okay with that because I know the patients being seen before me are getting the same attention/care that I will be getting when my wait is up. My RA has been a hard one for me(Him) to find the right medicine combination/ but He continues to try new meds and is always hopeful in us finding that right combination soon. And as far as the negative comment about Nurse Joanne( Whom is no longer with the practice after many, many years) I'm certain there is more to that story than meets the eye. I have been a patient with this practice for about 6 years and I highly recommend Dr.Rusche.
