Fuller, Susan, Rutkowski

I chose to become an Advanced Practice Provider because I’ve always been driven by a deep desire to help others live healthier, fuller lives. Medicine combines my love of science with my passion for building meaningful, long-term relationships with people. Every day presents an opportunity to make a real difference in someone’s life, and that’s incredibly fulfilling. My approach to patient care is rooted in compassion, communication, and collaboration. I believe in treating the whole person—not just their symptoms—through a holistic approach that considers physical, emotional, and social well-being. I emphasize preventive care and education as key tools in helping individuals and families stay healthy, with the ultimate goal of building a stronger, healthier community. I strive to ensure every patient feels heard, respected, and empowered to take an active role in their health journey. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, traveling, reading, and cooking. I find that staying active and connected helps me bring energy and balance into both my personal life and my medical practice.
