Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great pediatrician.
Dr. Rusch always listens to her patients (parent's) concerns and is very knowledgeable in her expertise (children). I was fortunate she was able to accept my children as patients as she is quite demanded.

Dr. Rusch genuinely and sincerely cares for and about my child! She is deeply conscientious. I have read previous reviews that bash the extensive wait time, and I will say there are times I too have had a long wait, but the difference is, this doctor is worth the wait. I have waited at every office for every doctor I’ve ever gone to just to feel rushed when it was finally my turn. This is not the case with Dr. Rusch. I get my fair share of her time, attention, and focus. I have been impressed by Dr. Rusch’s ability to remember so much detail about our visits and our family.

Dr Rusch has been seeing our son since he was 1 day old, now he’s 2yo. We never have to go to an urgent care because she is always reachable which is what I valued in a pediatrician!
