It's hard not to be effusive in my praise for Dr Ruben. He is an excellent doctor with a gentle touch, and he truly treats a woman as a whole being, not simply mechanics. He is easy to talk to and highly perceptive. One never gets the feeling she is taking up too much time. It's wonderful care!

There are too few doctors who embody healing and caring as well as Dr. Ruben does. He is a kind and compassionate man who provides excellent medical care to his patients. Dr. Ruben takes the time to deeply listen, as well as provides information related to the visit. He is never rushed. I have been a patient of Dr. Ruben's for over ten years and I am grateful for the care and guidance I receive

Aside from his extraordinary skill & knowledge, Dr. Ruben has the best bedside manner I've ever encountered. He's compassionate, understanding and confidence-inspiring. I only wish I'd heard about him 30 years ago; I wouldn't have put off a necessary hysterectomy d/t fibroids for so long! His advice was thorough, empathetic, patient, reassuring & totally accommodating of my feelings, resulting in an extremely positive experience before, during & after my surgery. Five stars aren't enough!
