About

Care Philosophy

Dr. Rutkoski specializes in compassionate care for those individuals struggling with their weight. He believes that by providing long term solutions for weight loss, he can help lead patients to healthier lives with resolution or significant improvement in many weight associated health conditions such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and sleep apnea. He chose to focus his practice on the treatment of individuals suffering from obesity so that he can provide the comprehensive care necessary before and after bariatric surgery to ensure his patients’ success.
