This was a final follow-up with Dr. Rubinstein following eardrum surgery. Everything has gone really well and healing progressed exactly the way Dr. Rubinstein had described it. He was able to answer all my questions and I am grateful for the care I've received.
Dr. Rubinstein and his associates are always excellent.
Once I was in an exam room Dr Rubrnstein came in right away. He's very warm, a good listener, and clear in discussion of the issue.
I have nothing but the highest respect for Dr Rubenstein.
Made me feel heard, answered my questions and allayed my fears.
I am so lucky to have this supremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and skilled doctor. He is exactly the person you hope for when you need help
Dr Rubenstein is great and highly talented surgeon. The UW is fortunate to have him.
Dr. Rubinstein spent two minutes telling me that I had no options, and to go to a website. [...] He[...] showed little concern.
Dr. Rubinstein and the resident did a good job.
I thought Dr Rubenstein [...] Were excellent. Dr Rubenstein very clearly, kindly and concisely described my situation and all of my options.
Had lots of questions regarding clinical trials, Rubinstein was very through on answering concerns
Dr Rubinstein was very good at explaining my condition and explaining options for care. He has a terrific bedside manner. Although doctors are extremely busy, he always makes you feel like he has time for you.
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.
My visit with Dr. Rubinstein seemed to last only 10 minutes. He seemed very hurried. He did review the results [...] with me. I felt he just blew off my further concerns. [...] Again I felt blown off. I'm very, very unhappy with my visit.
Dr Rubinstein is an expert in the problems I have.
I really appreciated how thorough the doctor was at explaining my condition and his recommendations moving forward. It was the best explanation I have had and it was obvious he had reviewed my records thoroughly before talking with me.
Dr should read notes why patient is visiting!!
Dr. Rubinstein is very thorough and personable.
