Good doctor....um....guy definitely has a death stare. Like soul piercing lol. I appreciate that....he's honest and gets right down to business. However, I am going to get older. Eventually I am going to need permanent accommodations. I would also like to continue playing basketball in the near future if we go the surgical option.

Dr. Ruter explains everything very well and gives all options available. He explains what the problem is and the best way to fix it. I like that he gets straight to the point, but also values your opinion.

He underwent his surgical residency in rearfoot reconstruction at Midwestern University and Franciscan Alliance in Dyer, Indiana. Dr. Ruter also completed a fellowship at Indiana Foot & Ankle in Jasper, Indiana, with an emphasis in diabetic nerve care and surgery along with diabetic limb salvage and reconstruction. Dr. Ruter is a faculty and board member of The Association of Extremity Nerve Surgeons (AENS). In addition to teaching for the nerve association, he is also available to treat and diagnose lower extremity nerve conditions.
In his off time, Dr. Ruter enjoys spending time with his wife and children. He also enjoys fishing in every sense of the word, as well as boating, kayaking, and jeep rides.
