Dr. Rutkovsky was very helpful at easing my concerns and instead of trying to run me under hundreds of tests or medications he told me to change up the time I take my medication and see if there's any changes. So far since following his advice I was able to finally sleep through one night. Hoping I'll keep getting better but will definitely go to him if my problem doesn't improve for a second game plan.
He is the best. Thank u zoc doc
This was my second visit with Dr. Fred Rutkovsky, this time for a full physical. I returned to him because he was extremely helpful, thorough and direct, and still empathetic. He was extremely helpful last year when I was experiencing very troubling symptoms. Dr. Fred Rutkovsky's manner is pleasant and understanding; I would recommend him without reservation
He is a professional . I ve seen too many good doctors in my life but i can tell u that he is the best of them .
Very personable and professional.
One of the best doctors that I saw in my life.
He listens and reacts to your needs. He's awesome!
Very thorough, covered all of my concerns and more. I am someone who has never liked going to doctors as they never actually addressed my concerns. He was amazing, concise and I didn't feel rushed. I finally found a primary I can trust.
Doctor was great. Staff could be friendlier when explaining things. Had to reschedule my appointment last min and they did not seem happy.
Cool Doctor!
It was wonderful, very professional and knowledgeable. Excellent bedside manner
I have been looking for a GP for a long time. I think I've found one in Dr. Rutkovsky. The doctor was very personable and professional. He definitely made me feel at ease and seemed genuinely concerned about my health issues. I think I definitely made the right decision in choosing DR. Rutkovsky.
Dr Rutkovsky was very nice and explained in detail every aspect of the tests he wants to run. He made me feel very comfortable
Doctor was great, but his staff are brderline incompetent.
all around unprofessional!!!
He is very honest and calming. There is no run-around or pointless conversations. It was refreshing.
He's a great doctor, I've been going to him for years.
Dr. Rutkovsky was very professional and concise. He explained my situation thoroughly, and made sure I understood my options. He followed up with the referral surgeon, who was waiting for me at the hospital.
Always a pleasure
He has a great bedside manner and he definitely understood my plight. Where most doctors usually just brush me off and give the same old answer for my problems, he had a different insight that I appreciated and I will definitely make him my primary care physician from now on. Thanks for the help Dr. Rutkovsky!
Very interactive with me and addressed my concerns right away. Very nice man
In this day and age is very hard to find a decent PCP with a good sense of humor. Nobody likes going to the Dr, but with Dr. Rutkovsky i rather enjoyed my visit. Everybody was friendly and well mannered and i didn't get the feeling like they didn't want to be there, like in most offices. Loved this place =).
Dr. Rutkovsky was amazing, very knowledgable, asked a lot of questions, and was very friendly. However; the wait time was insane! I arrived about 10 minutes early and my appointment was for 10am. I did not get to see him until 11am.
Execellent
A pleasure to speak with. Great bedside manner.
Chose him as my PCP based off other reviews. He's awesome. Very professional, friendly, and seemed genuine in his concern for me. Will recommend him to others for sure!
I was looking for a new PCP, there aren't too many doctors who actually care about their patients. But Dr. Rutkovsky is that doctor who does. He listened to me did not brush me off and he took his time! He's amazing and I just found my new PCP
Gave me more of a scare than any comfort. Had to get second opinion.
He is very kind, very professional and very knowledgeable. If there is something he doesn't know, he will not give a vague or misleading answer, but he will do a bit of research and get back to me with authoritative information.
Excellent doctor takes his time and explains everything.
Very good doc answered all my questions, will keep him as my primary doc
Dr Rutkovsky is always patient and respectful. He listens carefully and never treats me like I done know what I'm talking about. He knows how to get me better and I really believe he cares.
I trust him completely. He listens to me and he is thoughtful and considerate, never rushing me or automatically prescribing some standard treatment without considering my specific needs and symptoms. I have been with him for several years now and he has always known exactly what I needed. I am very pleased with Dr Rutkovsky and I feel extremely lucky to have found him.
He was super nice! He listened to everything I said and offered great information. Definitely recommend.
knowledgeable and competent doctor
great
Spent extra time to hear out my concerns, very detailed in his visit!! Everyone needs a doctor like Dr.Fred!!
Very professional Doctor. Highly recommend!
He is very professional and very down-to-earth, easy to talk to, and he listens. I did have a relatively long wait at this visit, but that is not my usual experience. I would recommend him very highly.
he was very nice, but very long wait even when you have a scheduled appointment.
