Louisville primary care physician Lawrence Rueff, MD, has watched our modern health care system slowly erode the doctor-patient relationship over the last 30 years. Dr. Rueff understands how integral that relationship is when it comes to providing exceptional health care service.

That's why he opened a new general practice where he offers personalized health care to patients, including disease prevention, regular physical check-ups, and immediate care.As a personal physician Dr. Rueff works one on one with patients to provide the best possible health care. Dr. Rueff believes you should be able to speak directly with a physician when you call your healthcare provider, not an assistant or office person.
Services
The health care industry has changed, and the doctor/patient relationship has suffered as a result. Insurance companies and hospitals are increasingly pressured to boost profits by limiting one-on-one time between doctors and patients, and by moving more patients in and out of the hospital more swiftly.
After 25 years practicing internal medicine, Lawrence Rueff, MD has begun providing personal physician services in Louisville. Witnessing a declining level of quality in medical care in recent years as medical practices increasingly focus on their bottom lines, he has decided to focus on patients & prevention by spending more time with each patient individually.
Lawrence Rueff, MD graduated from the University of Louisville with his MD, and has specialized in disease prevention and wellness for healthy living in his 25 years of practicing internal medicine in Louisville.

Dr. Rueff considers the doctor-patient relationship to be absolutely essential in providing exceptional health care service, so has recently transitioned his practise to that of personal physician in order to maximize the level of attentive care provided to each patient.

We have appreciated Dr Rueff's thorough exams and the time he takes to listen to our concerns. I especially find the exam results, connected to Boston Heart Diagnostics, enlightening. I have found this helpful in getting a better understanding of the various components of the lab tests. Dr. Rueff is proactive in helping patients better understand the impact of life choices and nutrition on our daily health. He is professional, has a friendly disposition and an understanding bedside manner.

I have nothing but the highest praise for Dr. Rueff as well as his staff, regarding not only competence on medical issues and examinations but also the manner in which they relate to their patients on a personal level. If one does not believe that a visit to a doctor's office can be a pleasant experience, try Lawrence Rueff, M.D.

I have been Dr. Rueff's patient for over 15 years and are very pleased with his and his staff's care. Dr. Rueff is an excellent physician; personable, professional, and always a pleasure to visit even when I'm not feeling perfect. He has been treating me for diabetes for the last 15 years as well as other medical issues. I am 79 years old and have an active lifestyle. I attribute much of my ability to be this active to Dr. Rueff.

I have been a patient of Dr. Rueff's for seven years. I am very satisfied with his service. I like the concierge model. There is never any wait, the staff is friendly and helpful and Dr. Rueff spends plenty of time with you. He is a good listener and his manner is very professional. In my opinion he is an excellent doctor and I thoroughly trust him to take care of all my health needs.

My husband and I became patients of Dr. Rueff while he was with St. Matthews Medical Associates. When he opened his personal physician office we hesitated to invest the money for the service because we were comparatively young and in excellent health. But, invest we did,......in our most precious possessions, our health and quality of life. Dr. Rueff's care, concern, and commitment to us is evident during each and every appointment and conversation. I trust him with my life and always enjoy a laugh or two every visit! And Karen is the best!!!!

Dr. Rueff has been my primary care M.D. for 24 years. He is the best I have ever dealt with. His office staff is the most efficient and reflects his caring concern for his patients. Listening and thinking are his great assets.

Dr. Rueff is a concierge physician. The personal service we receive from Dr. Rueff and his staff is well worth the investment. He is very thorough, takes times to answer questions and has a sense of humor. My husband and I highly recommend him without any reservations.

Dr. Rueff is physician to my whole family, my 95-year-old father, my husband, my son and me. The only reason my mother lived to be 94 is because of the great care Dr. Rueff provided her. We are very satisfied with the services of the office...the ease of contacting him, setting up appointments and the friendliness/competence of the staff. We are never rushed through our appointments and the wait time is minimal. I usually only have to wait if we are early!
Also, when Dr. Rueff is out of town or unavailable, he has very competent doctors who take call for him. When my mother had a stroke, the doctor

Dr Rueff and his staff are incredible! I always know my concerns are taken seriously and addressed. Dr Rueff spends adequate time listening, examining and making a plan to treat any and all problems that I have. He never rushes me. Healthcare is so different now, but in this office I know that I am cared for and about.
