We strongly feel that the initial contact with the patient should hopefully be before their first consultation with the doctor.  We encourage all patient's to visit our comprehensive website and review a detailed description of the management of the areas of their concern prior to  seeing Dr. Rucker.   The consultation then becomes much more relaxing and meaningful and allows the patient and physician to truely focus on all facets of the problem.  Most patients relate to us  that the initial consultation can be very intimitating and they find it hard to open up and discuss their true concerns.   We feel that a well informed patient in a relaxing environment is better able to discuss an issue that they feel is very personal.  This is the setting that myself and my support staff offer to all of our patients.
