Springfield Clinic is excited to welcome the Ruskusky Foot & Ankle team as they join our Springfield Clinic Podiatry department in Pekin. 

Jeffrey Ruskusky, DPM, and Gretchen Evans, DPM, will continue providing care at Springfield Clinic Pekin Podiatry (3305 Griffin Ave), formerly known as Ruskusky Foot & Ankle Clinic, and offer additional clinic appointments at Springfield Clinic Peoria (1001 Main Street).

“I am very excited about the affiliation with Springfield Clinic,” Dr. Ruskusky says. “Running small business medicine has changed a lot over the years. Affiliating with an organization like Springfield Clinic gives us the support and infrastructure to provide a better overall patient experience, while still maintaining that family-first feeling our patients have come to expect.” 

While the location doesn’t change, patients can expect 24/7 access to their care teams through Springfield Clinic’s TeleNurse help line and our new patient portal as well as dedicated billing assistance through our Patient Advocate Center.
