The doctor was very straightforward with the risks of surgery and the uncertain outcome of the benefits of the surgery afterwards.
Concern and compassion for medical issues. Determination to get to the bottom of diagnosis
Dr Rubenstein was arrogant and condescending. He talked down to me and treated me with utter disregard. I debated scheduling another appointment with him but thought I'd give him a second chance. His residents had more compassion than he does. He truly made me feel that I was a waste of his time.
