Delta Ruscheinsky, MD

My only complaint about Dr. Ruscheinsky is that her last name is a pain in the rear to spell.
That’s where my complaints stop. I cannot rave enough about Dr. Roosh (I can’t spell it twice). She is professional, I never feel rushed and she is, as many other say, an extremely compassionate person. She has an uncanny ability to adapt her explanations to your knowledge which makes me very comfortable (except when my wife is there because they talk way over my head).
I’ve only seen her for a little over a year now and wish I had found her sooner. She’s addressed all of my health concerns and done so extremely quickly. Her advice is always spot on and I actually look forward to coming here — and that makes no sense since it’s usually because I’m broken. She’s that great!

Dr Ruscheinsky is the best family doctor.
She is very profesional and smart.
front of the office is also the best, they always very helpfull.

Seeking a new PCP, and requiring followup to an urgent care diagnosis needing treatment, I was looking for someone who might think outside the box and also understand some odd physiological anomalies I have. I was assured Dr Ruscheinsky would be that MD however she had no openings for a month — the PA could see me.
So I saw the PA, Tamm, y within 2 days of my call, presenting with the very painful diagnosis of Pleurisy from the urgent care, Tammy did NOTHING. She barely did an exam. I requested treatments (as an RN I knew what should be given — and knowing myself, I knew what my body responds to). Completely dis-​enheartened with my choice and the treatment I received, I faxed over a note to the office stating I would not be back — HIPPA rescinded — if that is how they treat their clientele.
Dr Ruscheinsly called me 2 days after the fax asking me to give them another try. She was off on vacation but her RNP would see me and treat me and she would inform the RNP of my symptoms and needs. She claimed to be familiar with my enzyme anomaly which alters certain medications making higher doses/​quantities necessary. She also via telephone, ordered labwork and prescribed antibiotics and steroids which were indicated for the pleurisy.
I was very impressed by this and wanted to give them another try.
I saw the RNP who was also quite good and my pleurisy healed quickly. However, when I had another issue — just about a month later, I was back to the limited/​no treatment, from this practice, including Dr Ruscheinsky herself.
When my insurance mailed something advising of physicians I’d seen recently (including the urgent care and multiples from her own office) she called me up and terminated me from the practice. She wants her patients to only see or receive care there, and she didn’t like that I needed pain medication with the mastitis and asked for it. The fact that this was the 4^th episode of mastitis in as many months was ignored completely. To me that is a huge issue in overall healthcare, but this practice completely unbundles everything — refers out for everything — and so the overall picture is ignored.
This office does NOT treat pain so don’t go here for pain control. They won’t help you and will claim the DEA won’t allow them to prescribe. As a healthcare provider I know, the DEA aren’t MD’s and don’t control MD practice in this way — so their prescribing fear is misplaced and in fact they are practicing negligent medicine using DEA as an excuse.
Just a weird experience all around. Upsetting.
Its hard enough to find a practice you like — the office people matter, the MA’s matter, the way they take your VS matters, and then having to feel humbled and humiliated to need pain control for a painful infection — and be refused …
I would NOT recommend this practice.

Awesome doctor.

This review is more for the office staff than the doctor herself. I was new to the area and found Dr. Ruscheinsky on Unilocal and called to set up an appointment. I stated that my PPO insurance entitles me to one physical per year at no charge and I wanted to do that physical with the doctor to establish care. On the day of my appointment, I was in and out of the doctor’s office in just about 15 minutes. Dr. Ruscheinsky seemed nice enough but the visit was not entirely personable or anything special.
A few weeks later, my insurance company billed me for an examination. When I called my insurance company and told them this was just an annual check up with my new doctor they said that Dr. Ruscheinsky’s office had coded it to them as an examination. When I called and spoke to Shayna/​Shaina (spelling?) she was very curt and told me every new patient receives an examination and not a physical. I told her that if she can’t fix this then I’ll gladly pay and they can lose me as a patient. Her response was essentially «whatever dude». I understand that billing and insurance is convoluted and confusing at times but the biggest issue to me here was that the office staff were so rude and unhelpful from the very start of getting an appointment to this most recent dispute. They probably would have kept me as a patient had they taken the time to just explain things without being such jerks.

I had my first appointment today. The doc was very nice and thorough. I didn’t feel rushed and she addressed all of my health concerns. I’m thrilled with my choice and happy that Unilocal reviews assisted me in finding a new PCP.

Dr. Ruscheinsky is super-​smart, extraordinarily knowledgeable, and remarkably caring. Her questions are insightful and her advice is superb. I have an unusual medical condition and most internists can’t help me at all. Dr. Ruscheinsky is the exception. She’s pretty amazing. I feel very lucky to have found her.

Dr. Ruscheinsky is one of the best family doctors I’ve ever had. It is abundantly clear she deeply cares about her patients. She has always taken the time necessary to listen to my concerns and solve each one without rushing. I’ve had to visit her for a number of complicated issues and I’ve always felt cared for in expert hands. She has never pushed pharmaceutical options when something safer or equally effective has been an option. Her decision making is clearly prudent and during the rare times when I’ve needed strong treatment options, she was quick to come up with an effective treatment plan.
I’m very happy to continue to recommend her strongly to others looking for a friendly and knowledgeable family doctor.

Dr. Ruscheinsky is awesome! She really takes the time to listen to your concerns and has a great bedside manner. You do not feel like you are a number and that she is rushing you just to move on to the next patient. I have had a few medical situations where she was just able to speak to me over the phone and resolve the problem rather than requiring an ER or doctors visit. I hope that she is my doctor for a long time as I know she truly cares about her patients.
