Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

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

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

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

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

Dr. Rutz and his PAs have been a part of my medical care for around 20 years. His care has been exemplary and the care from his PAs has been very good. I highly recommend East Lincoln Family.

I am 65 yrs. old, had 2 kids (now 26 & 30) and myself, my wife and kids received as good of care as I have ever had in my life. And that goes esp. to Dr. Rutz for his skills and demeanor, but also all of his P.A.'s, nurses and support staff. I cannot imagine a family medical practice that is better overall than ELF (East Lincoln Family Health) and I would encourage others to meet with them if they are looking for a regular health care provider. With the utmost sincerity &respect, Mark Packard
