Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Love Dr. Ruxer

He discharged me after I was discharged from the hospital after receiving back surgery. Least caring physician I have ever dealt with. I can’t say enough good things about his associate Dustin Thomas but Dr Ruxer isn’t much of a man let alone a physician and I doubt the rating of 4.2

Helps my pain immensely
I seldom have to wait long before I am called back to be seen. Leon is very punctual. He never rushes. He accomadates my health & pain needs. Dr Ruxer has helped me many times with ablation, epidurals, and several other procedures. I have chronic degenerative disc disease. 5 bulging discs and severe degenerative osteoarthritis. I am one hurting unit. If not for Dr Ruxer and his nurse practitioners I would be in far worse shape. I highly recommend Dr JT Ruxer and his professional staff.

April, the referral liason for Dr. Ruxer is little to be desired. She doesn't call new patients back in a timely manner. She also will not return phone calls, either. She seems to show no regard for patients who are desperate & in pain, needing to have an appointment with Dr. Rucker, ASAP.. Her inadequacy reflects poorly toward Dr. Ruxer & His practice.

Fantastic. Dr JT Ruxer knows his stuff. As with any doctor you have to go through several steps in order to treat back pain. Insurance requires this also. The ablation he did to the nerves caused me to have one year of a pain free back. I could sit, arise and stand without pain. Also I could sleep w/o pain. I'm going back for another ablation very soon. Beats the heck out of surgery. I can't say enough good things about Dr Ruxer and his staff. I'm 70 yrs young. I even got up in the back of my SUV and washed windows and cleaned it out!!!!!

Dr. Ruxer is the absolute best doctor in Western Kentucky for pain management. Having suffered 13 herniated disc's from C2-L5, I can only manage the pain through Dr. Ruxer! If you ever have the pleasure of meeting Dr. Ruxer & being treated by him, you will not want to go anywhere else! This man saved my life.
