Overview

Dr. Rucker and his staff offer you a small, friendly office setting. Not a large inhospitable clinic environment that tends to produce results with a cookie cutter approach to plastic surgery. We also feel that not all patients require a surgical approach. Many patients can achieve the results they desire with non-invasive options through our Medispa. Your inquiries are welcome.

The decision to change and enhance your appearance can contribute to an expanded active lifestyle and a more vibrant and positive outlook on life. In addition to traditional surgical procedures such as breast augmentation, beast lift, eyelid lift, liposuction, tummy tuck, body contouring after weight loss, reduction of acne scars, rhinoplasty, and nose surgery procedures, Dr. Rucker and his staff offer a wide array of non-surgical alternatives that can help you achieve dramatic results with less cost and shorter recovery time. These services include Botox, Restylane, lip enlargement, reduction of facial wrinkles and laser treatments.

Testimonials


Testi "In August, when my general surgeon first explained my options for breast reconstruction, I didn’t find either of them very appealing. I was hoping there was a "magic wand” option, but it was never mentioned, so after meeting with you I had to pick from the two and trust that I made the right decision. Now, after I see the results of the work that you have done, I realize that I got the "magic wand” option after all. You have gone way beyond my expectations for how it would all turn out. I really don’t know how to thank you for all that you have done. My general surgeon saved my life, but you gave it back to me by making me feel whole and normal again. The only thing that I can think of doing is telling everyone I know how skillful and talented you are. I pray that you will be able to continue to help people in such a wonderful way for many years to come.

I also want to tell you that your staff is wonderful. Their cheerful smiles, compassion, and encouragement really helped me get through those dark days of chemo. All of them were so supportive and understanding. They treated me like I was their friend and that meant so much. I will miss seeing them. I wish all of you success in the future. "
