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.
In response, and because of his passion for excellent patient care, Dr. Rueff changed his practice to that of personal physician, providing personalized health care plans to individual patients outside of what he feels is a failing health care model. The focus of the new practice is preventative medicine through a personalized health care plan emphasizing health, wellness and fitness. The goal is to avoid illness and hospitalization. But if you ever become seriously ill or injured and need hospitalization or long-term care, Dr. Rueff will be by your side on a daily basis to provide attentive care.
Preventative Medicine:
- Health - Instead of treating problems in a short-sighted, short-term way, we focus on overall health. We believe that keeping healthy keeps problems under good control.
- Wellness - Focusing on overall health helps patients achieve a state of wellness in which they feel good, have energy, and are motivated to continue improving.
- Fitness - Energy from good health inspires a continuing and growing incentive to get stronger, healthier and stay independent through exercise.
