The Magnolia Health and Wellness Team
Stephanie Ruckman
DNP, FNP - BC,MBA
Owner/Operator
Dr. Stephanie Ruckman and her husband Frank and daughters Makayla and Carley moved to Hickman, TN 8 years ago. They moved from Lebanon, TN, where she was born and raised. Dr. Ruckman has been in healthcare for over 20 years working in various settings such as ER, Oncology, Addiction Medicine and Primary Care. She has always believed in education and always advancing your education as much as possible, and that is why she pursued the highest level of education a nurse practitioner can complete, her Doctorate in Nursing Practice. Dr. Ruckman believes it takes not only your education but real life experience, compassion, and kindness to be the best you can be for your clients. Dr. Ruckman is so excited to own and operate Magnolia Health & Wellness and care for her community. Dr. Ruckman wants everyone to feel comfortable and welcome when they enter the doors of Magnolia and know they are valued and appreciated.
Dr. Ruckman is board certified in Family Practice and certified to perform Neurotoxin injections, Filler, PRP, PRF, laser certified and Empower with In Mode certified.
Dr. Judd Bazzel
Dr. Bazzel, despite being from southern Alabama, has called Middle Tennessee home for over 20 years now. After completing a residency in Family Medicine, he moved to the Nashville area, where he has made serving the medically disenfranchised the center of his practice. Now, he is pleased to turn over a new leaf with Magnolia Health & Wellness by focusing on ways to make people look and feel better through new and innovative ways. He believes in treating the patient, not their chart or labs. Patients know more about themselves than anyone else, so it is foolish not to listen to them-something that has become rare in medicine today. Dr. Bazzel’s grandfather, a Baptist minister for over 50 years, always instilled respect for others and common sense as core values for a good person, and Dr. Bazzel hopes to pass that along to his new patients at Magnolia Health & Wellness.
