Dr. Rueckert is professional, personal, and very committed to educating his patients. I did not feel rushed through my appointment. I feel fortunate to have him as my PCP.
I always feel listened to and Dr R really seems to know his patients as individuals.
Amazing doctor. Very informative
Good
Dr. Rueckert's explanations are long and thorough. This is great for someone wanting detailed information. But he's just not good at fast, short answers. My appointments get bogged down in details I don't need. If I want more detail, I'll ask.
Fantastic doctor!
I've already started recommending my new doctor because I love his office so much
Very much like Dr. Rueckert. Absolutely great.
They actually care about you, I wish my Sister and some of my friends were able to have a Dr. And his team like I have. It is sadly rare when I listen to my friends.
He went over everything in my chart, since this was my first visit there. We discussed everything from conditions to medications and now we both know each other very well.
My doctor is the best. I feel comfortable and confident with the care he gives.
Have been very pleased with Dr. R. He takes time, listens, explains, encourages, and have been very happy with him as my doctor.
Dr. Rueckert is wonderful.
Dr. Rueckert really explains everything very well and makes sure I understand and asks if I have any questions or concerns before moving on to the next issue. I really feel listened to and that I get to be a part of my health care decision making with his great advice.
One of the best doctors I have had!

Despite me being on the younger end of his patient base, Dr. Rueckert was extremely helpful and I look forward to continuing care with him.

He is thorough and listens. He doesn't act rushed!
Dr Ruekurt is a really caring man. He treats well!
Dr.Rueckert always makes me feel comfortable and treats me like he really cares. Never feel rushed and "just the next room" he has to see. I think it's important to him that he really knows his patients as individuals. Always makes me feel like he acually cares about me as a person, asks about my life. And, he has a great sense of humor. Not everyone "gets" my humor, but we seem to get along just fine.
He always knows about my health and follows my condition with other doctors.
Very good place to be seen
All good and NO bad!!!!!!!!!!

This was my first visit to Dr. Rueckert. I am very happy that he will be my doctor. He was professional, polite and personable. He carefully explained all my options and listened carefully to everything I had to say. After leaving a position that I had had for 25 years, due to my moving here to Oregon, I was concerned about starting with a new doctor. But I am feeling very confident that Dr. Rueckert will be an excellent caregiver.

Dr. Rueckert is an excellent Dr.
Personable, professional, great "bedside manner"
I haven't been to see a Dr for a few years. My nerves were set at ease the moment I stepped into this facility. The Dr showed genuine concern and took time to set a plan of care.
Dr. Rueckert is the best
