I literally drove 2 hours to come see Dr. Rutkovsky. He is through, listens to my concerns, gives me recaps of everything we went over. Best primary I have ever had. I refuse to give him up. Furthermore he has the most amazing nurse.

Dr. Rutkovsky exemplifies what every doctor should strive to be. Calm, informative, thorough, attentive and a good sense of humor. A fantastic doctor and a seemingly fantastic man.

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. Sofar 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.

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 verytroubling symptoms. Dr. Fred Rutkovsky's manner is pleasant and understanding; I would recommend him without reservation

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.

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 definitelymake him my primary care physician from now on. Thanks for the help Dr. Rutkovsky!

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 andi didn't get the feeling like they didn't want to be there, like in most offices. Loved this place =).
