Albert Ruenes, Jr. was born December 4th 1961 in Glen Cove, New York. He grew up on Long Island, attended its public schools and spent his summers at the beach and nights cooking and waiting tables at area restaurants. He attended undergraduate school at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. He worked three years there as a Resident Assistant and graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1984. He returned to New York to enroll at Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons and earned his MD degree in 1988, the year he served as class president and co-founder of a mentor program for the underprivileged young men in Spanish Harlem. That summer he married his wife, Cindy, and together they moved to Durham, North Carolina where he began his six-year surgical residency at Duke University. It was there that his son, Chris and daughter, Jenny were born. His young family came to Doylestown in 1994 so Dr. Ruenes could join his friend and colleague, Steven Flashner, MD., in practice at Central Bucks Urology. He has been there since, and this "Top Doctor" volunteers at Doylestown Hospital’s Free Clinic and teaches prostate cancer surgery overseas to surgeons of third world countries. He has a special interest in urologic oncology.

Dr. Ruenes came to explore the virtues of integrative medicine for two reasons. First, after a short time in private practice he realized that his allopathic tool chest lacked the ability to treat some common, chronic urologic maladies. Second, at age seven years, his son developed insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. It became clear to him that his son’s long-term health depended not only on a regimen of frequent testing, medication and doctors visits, but also on a holistic, patient-centered approach to wellness.

Dr. Ruenes is a founding partner of Advanced Medical Solutions and oversees its cancer program.
