Ruskin has served the chiropractic needs of the Palm Harbor and East Lake, FL areas as the Chiropractor and Director of Boot Ranch Chiropractic & Wellness Center.Not only does Dr. Ruskin address the common problems such as back and neck pain, he addresses other aspects of healthcare such as pain management, relief and recovery, wellness and preventative health maintenance and stress management as well.

Dr. Ruskin has brought pain free living to my life and I couldn't be more grateful! Since going to Dr. Ruskin my overall health has drastically improved with my monthly adjustments I am now pain free and no longer suffering from vertigo. Dr. Ruskin is a wonderful guy! He is extremely knowledgeable, courteous, professional, and takes his time with his patients and makes sure to put you on a treatment plan that is right for you. His staff is caring, friendly, and accommodating. I promise you will fall in love with the level of care he and his staff provide give him a visit you won't regret it!

Nothing but great things to say about Dr. Ruskin and Anna. This was my first time going to a chiropractor and I was extremely anxious. Dr. Ruskin is a great listener and makes you feel comfortable and explains exactly what he will be doing. Anna, the nurse/receptionist, is always kind and helpful.

I've been a patient at Dr Ruskin's office since about May, after an accident had thrown my back out of alignment. I was unsure of what to expect and what actual results I would get, as far as recovery, but was surprised to have a change in pain, as well as improved range of movement within just a few visits. With each consecutive visit, my range of motion, as well as problem areas that had semi-consistent pain continue to improve. Dr Ruskin is more than glad to drop some medical terms here and there, in case one has some knowledge already or to give them a better understanding of what is going on regarding their issues. Anna, who acts as receptionist, and handles several miscellaneous duties on top of that, is wonderful and always has a great demeanor. She is also a registered nurse, which no doubt helps. Absolutely no regrets!

It's been a longgggg time coming for me to write this review. I don't write alot of reviews because I simply refuse to spend my time writing about something I'm not 100% certain about. I've been going to Dr Ruskin now for about a year and my back and lower body have him to thank for being fully pain free now for a year. About 5 years ago I herniated a couple disc in my lower back while deadlifting without a belt.

Ever since that point my back was never okay as I always had a sense of pressure in my lower back that inevitably would work its way up into my upper back and into my shoulders because I couldn't stand up straight most days. I'll be honest with everyone in saying the chiropractor isn't a magician. It will take a few sessions and adjustments before any major changes or improvements take hold.

My favorite part of any of my visits is talking to Anna up at the reception desk. No matter when I step through the door, Doc and Anna always have a smile on their face to see me. Finally, once doc has you all tuned up you get to relax on a heating blanket on the recovery table. I can truly say I've never had a bad experience in the year I've been going there. Oh and Anna, if you're reading this, Saturday maybe for the boys but we've always got room for you on Saturdays at the office!

I've been seeing Dr Ruskin for 2 years now & have ZERO complaints. Fantastic doctor, fantastic receptionist, friendly and easy to talk to. Also conveniently works patients into the schedule, or changes last min, with no issue. Certainly got lucky finding this practice among all the other options.

Dr. Ruskin has been the best chiropractor I have ever been to. He's professional yet personable and knows how to properly adjust your neck and spine. Appointments are smooth and have you feeling great after you leave. I've recommended not only my wife but other friends for all reasons, like general maintenance or even after any type of accident. Go see Dr Ruskin, you'll be glad you did.

I would not recommend this chiropractor to anyone. During the last adjustment his hand slipped off my shoulder and he never tried to readjust because that day the doctor was rushing to go somewhere. Two days later I had neck pain, severe migraine and when I called to inform the front desk, even she said burning sensation I felt in my shoulder has to do with the adjustment.

Some days later instead of calling me and asking if I was feeling any better I received a termination letter from Dr. Ruskin. I would recommend anyone please find a better and more gentle chiropractor.

Super clean office and very nice staff. I have been going to Dr Ruskin for over 3 years through 2 accidents. Nothing but the utmost professional care and guidance along the way. I have suggested him to anyone when a chiropractor is brought up in front of me. Do not hesitate. Would give 6 stars if I could!

Because of my back history, I have gone to several Chiropractors for several years. Finding Dr. Ruskin has been a blessing! I came to him in great pain, and he gave me relief where most did not. His compassion and professionalism made me feel welcomed and, without a doubt, well taken care of. I highly recommend Dr. Les Ruskin. He will take care of you!

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Ruskin for nearly 14 years. Our monthly adjustments keep us headache free, lower back pain free, and sciatica pain free. He has great "bedside" manner, is honest, and takes time with his patients. I have recommended Dr. Ruskin to many people and will continue to do so.
