Paul Rusonis's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Rusonis is the best doctor I ever met in my life. Although I am not his patient, I took my cousin to her appointments with him and sat in on every visit. He had an awesome bedside manner and was always so informative in helping my cousin with her skin disease. My cousin loved him as her doctor. Although she may have been in pain sometimes, she was always looking forward to seeing Dr. Rusonis. Kudos to Dr. Rusonis. TB & I, her cousin adored this doctor.

I have been going to this practice now for several years now. I have had moles removed, I suffer from several skin issues, etc. I never have an issue when making an appointment and can usually get in to see some someone within a few days. I like that I can call and cancel my appointment by way of voicemail rather than have to wait on hold, or call during office hours when I am usually tied up or their phones are busy.

I've been going to Dr. Rusonis off and on for 20 years, always to have something simple done, like having a mole removed. I got a horrible second degree burn on top of my foot a week ago and unfortunately went to the urgent care by Howard General Hospital. Even though it was a wide and deep burn on top of my foot, over the vein and next to the bones (which is supposed to be considered major), they didn't prescribe antibiotics or give me anything but Bacitracin. One week later, the area where I had a nickel sized blister popped and became infected (far worse pain than when I actually burned my foot). Dr. Rusonis prescribed a strong internal antibiotic, wrote a prescription for an antibiotic ointment (said Bacitracin is not the best), and he told me to get calcium alginate dressings. He told me to mark with permanent marker the area that was red around the wound and to make sure the area became smaller after a couple of days. He was so wonderful, and I could not have gotten better treatment. I'm SO glad that I went to him and would not go to any other dermatologist!

Really excellent doctor. I’ve been a patient for years, but wish I’d gone to him even sooner than I finally did. He is kind, professional, and very thorough. I highly recommend him.

Couldnt ask for a more engaging Dr. He explained more than was required for my surgery and made pleasant small talk during the procedure. Staff is great. Highly recommend.

Very efficient

I'd actually give them 0 stars. Although I had my records sent there several months prior to my first appointment it was clear they weren't looked at. I was seeing my previous doctor every 4 months for full body checks because of the frequency of several different types of skin cancers. A Dr Tanya Peters at the Columbia office saw me. She did the shortest check I've ever had. She didn't ask that I remove makeup (I'd come straight from work) which all previous doctors had done. She begrudgingly froze a spot on my chest that I pointed out. Said she'd freeze it if it was really a bother to me. I felt very unsatisfied when I left. I was told they couldn't fit me in for my next full body check for at least a year but I could get a 'partial' check in 6 months. She said partial meant areas that had seen the sun. I went back to my previous doctor for another full check two months later even though the office had relocated some distance away. The place on my chest was biopsied-it is a squamous cell cancer and needs removal via Mohs. There is another squamous cell spot on my nose-also needs Mohs. Needless to say I'll never go back to and never recommend Dr Rusonus's practice in Columbia.

Excellent and state of the art facility

I have been a patient here for 7 years, but I will never step foot in that place again. Dr. Rusonis is a talented business man, I will give him credit for that. But if you are looking for a doctor and staff that truly care about you and your well-being, look elsewhere. This is a high volume patient factory first and foremost, not a trusted medical practice. Rusonis and his office manager Donna couldn't care less about you.

With rude, condescending staff.
