Rating & Reviews
Dr. Rukasin is thorough, caring, as well as an amazing provider.
It was a great experience. The snacks and toys were a nice addition. Thanks so much for having a caring staff. Dr. Rukasin and her staff were attentive and great!
She is one of the best doctors. She cares about her patients and doesn't make you feel rushed. I know she has many patients but remembers all the details about my son. And she is willing to get to know you on a personal level.
The care we received was definitely good
Dr. Ruskasin is always kind & caring towards our child, we appreciate her.
She's amazing!
Everyone is so nice and I appreciate the time they take to listen.
Dr. Rukasin is amazing. She is not only knowledgeable, thorough, and caring, she also listened to the child. Having a child with major anxiety and mental health challenges is hard. Having a doctor that looks your child in the I and literally says 'I hear you. I understand what you're saying' was in some respects life changing. I have never seen my son so engaged and responsive at a medical appointment - so willing to participate in his own care (and we have been to a lot of doctors). His participation didn't end there - he left feeling empowered with a plan and was finally willing to try a OTC med that he had been refusing for years out of fear. Whatever you do, don't lose Dr. Rukasin. She is an amazing asset to the PCH community.
Dr. Rukasin was exceptional. She did all testing same-day and was incredibly thorough in explaining each test and why it was relevant. Getting in to see her was difficult, however she was worth the wait. Grateful for her care and compassion.
We appreciate having Dr. Christine Rukasin as our child's provider. Our son thinks she's awesome.
Great experience.
It's always a pleasure seeing Dr. Rukasin. She is so easy to talk to, and is very considerate of your questions and concerns.
Provider always really helpful always willing to help and makes my child feel comfortable in every appointment
Doctor schedule my next appointment and consider the distance in driving my child for care. She was very helpful
I had all three children there for simultaneous penicillin challenges. Two of my kids have bad anxiety. Nurse and doctors were fantastic at helping them through it all and calling the panic attacks. My middle son even said, when we left, 'that was actually fun.' (He also think it's great you call it a challenge (instead of a test) but that's a cool fun thing to a kid.) They also loved the certificates the got at the end. Those seemingly little things make a big difference to kids. Dr. Rukasin and the staff are all great and my kids would all like to say thank you.
Dr Rukasin is kind and caring and listened to my concerns. She spoke to my son directly and made him feel really comfortable. This visit was worth the wait. Thank you Dr Rukasin.
