I chose Dr. Rueckl because he has been in practice a long time, has great Angie's List reviews, and equally important, Dr. Rueckl has performed Mohs surgery for 25 years. My last melanoma was on my right cheek and I personally know the wonders of healing with no scarring with Mohs surgery. I initially saw Ross Davis, the Physician Assistant. I was perfectly comfortable with him for my routine checkup, so I did not ask to have Dr. Rueckl come into the room to examine me. Ross found three bothersome spots that just needed to be frozen. I was extremely impressed. Rather than use the huge freeze sprayer, Ross put the chemical in a Styrofoam cup and applied it exactly where it needed to be applied with a long stem gauze applicator. I usually have discomfort during the freezing and up to a week after I have spots frozen. I had no discomfort during application or thereafter. Also, the frozen spots were is so small that there is little chance of a keloids forming. As I was checking out, Dr. Rueckl walked up and said hello. I was extremely impressed and asked that my records be sent from my previous dermatologist so Dr. Rueckl has my previous melanoma records if they should ever be needed.
Description of Work
I've had melanoma requiring surgery two times, which puts me at high risk for future melanoma. I routinely see a dermatologist every six months for full body check ups. My previous dermatologist is not available at this time, so I researched Angie's List. I was impressed with the many positive reviews. I called and learned his office accepts Medicare and my Blue Cross as secondary insurance, so I made an appointment. The wait for the New Patient appointment was about a month, but that is about average for all New Patient appointments. I didn't have any concerns, so the wait did not cause me any undue stress.

Thank you for this wonderful and thorough review. I appreciate the time you took to write it, and all the insight you gave in it that will help others when making a decision. I'm so glad that Ross was able to treat all of your needs. It took me over a year to find a PA that fit my practice well, including most of all, being kind. Ross is a wonderful and talented PA, and I'm so glad he'[Member Information Removed] with my practice now. I will be here if anything should come up that you need further assistance with. And I'm so glad you get checked regularly since you've already had melanoma - this is great to do!

This Dr. had an assistant do the work. They had the equipment to cauterize the skin tags, but elected to use local anesthesia and scissors. I have had them removed both ways and will say that there was much more pain after the local anesthesia wore off and for a much longer period of time (weeks). The price was more than my previous dermatologist charged using the more advanced technique. I would not use this dermatologist again unless he used the more advanced method having experienced both. I would say scarring is also greater with the scissor method also.

Service Provider Response

Hi [Member Name Removed], please come see me so we can look at this and discuss it more. Using the cauterizing method MUST have local anesthesia too or there is nothing to cauterize. Cauerizing stops blood. So you have to have blood active. I think perhaps you mean your other doctor used liquid nitrogen? That is a very old school and non surgical method and many skin tags don't get removed because they are too thick. So patients are left with white spots. Red spots like you have now from removals will fade with a bit more time but white spots will never go away. So I think there is confusion here about a lot. I'm happy to see you again to discuss if you wish. Thank you.

He is very nice & kind as well as incredibly knowledgeable and thorough. His staff is efficient and very nice. The entire operation is top drawer. He has impeccable educational credentials & what appears to be a well deserved successful practice. He is so well skilled I don't even have a mark on my face after having several shots between & near my eyebrows. I highly recommend him and plan to go back for other treatments. I'm so pleased that I was able to find such a highly qualified professional.
Description of Work
I selected Dr. Rueckl based on the positive reviews I had seen on Angie's List. I had been looking for a good dermatologist since I moved here from NYC almost 3 years ago. Previously I had been able to return to NYC to see my doctor there because I wasn't sure I'd find anyone as capable here. Happily, I was wrong. Dr. Rueckl is fabulous. I visited him for the first time for Botox.

The treatment went fine. I wasn't happy with the fact that I had to wait over 30 minutes and had also called prior to coming 10 minutes away, to get the address and re-confirm appointment. The Dr. was nice enough but didn't spend more then a few minutes with me - just had me squint, gave me a few shots around each eye and was out of there.

Service Provider Response

We are sorry to hear that you are unhappy with us. We normally have you wait with a topical numbing cream before Botox because we try to minimize any discomfort during the treatment. This means you wait for a bit so it can kick in, but since it minimizes any pain, we think it's the best way to do it. Botox is a very quick treatment, but Dr. Rueckl will always spend time with you if you need anything else. He is fast because he's good at Botox, but he certainly was not trying to minimize your visit in any way. If there is anything else you'd like to discuss, please feel free to contact us at any time. We hope you will return again, and if you ever have questions about anything, please ask us!

I went in there for about 3 moles (numbing with a needle so small you can't feel it) and then cutting them off. Was in and out within 30 minutes. Was a very simple procedure to the doctor, also took the time to explain to me what to look for in a mole that could be cancerous. Staff was friendly as well, I'll go back for further issues/concerns I might have.

The appointment went well. Dr Ruecki is very thorough and talked me through the procedure. The procedure is know as mohs surgery. I was impressed with his bedside manner. i would recommend him. He is very straight forward and tells you like it is. I usually diagnose my issues and he had no problem telling me I was wrong. I will continue to have him regularly do skin check ups. I feel secure with his skill and background with skin problems,

Dr. Ruekel administered the botox injections himself. He was very "no nonsense" and fast. Even though I was just there for botox, he also inquired about my use of sunscreen. He is a very low key person, but he seems kind and caring. I had to wait about 25 minutes, but the treatment only took about ten minutes. The cost of my botox was about $100 less than my prior provider.

Thank you for your review. We apologize for the wait, but are glad that you were happy with Dr. Rueckl's care and injections. He will always be the only injector in this office and thinks it's VERY important that injectables only be done by physicians. We appreciate that you went online to put this up for us and will see you again soon (or when your Botox wears off!).

I have been going to him for probably 12 years. I don't see him that often, but that is why I started to into the spa and he is a wonderful dermatologist. He is great. You get in right away when you see him. He has got the greatest bed side manner. He is concerned about his clients and just goes the extra mile always. I haven't seen him for a year. I have a ppo so I just go when I feel like I need to go see him and in fact I have to make an appointment with him for couple of weeks from now. He is very kind, funny. He puts you at ease, people are worried about their skin. He removed a couple of precancerous growth from his leg and stuff. I have had him to remove few things for me. It is always a tense situation to know that you are going to have something cut off of you or burned or frozen off or whatever he just makes it seem like no big deal. He always explains everything that he is doing. His staff is great. Most of his staff I think have been with him for years and years, I am sure he is a great boss too all his staff just loves him. I would use him again.
