Dr. Ruth Rubin, MD

sdf

I was satisfied with Dr. Rubin's services for several years. Nothing special, but no problems. However the transition to concierge services, was terribly managed with existing loyal patients. Patients who did not sign up for this program were dropped without adequate or clear warning, including suddenly refusing to fill important prescriptions, just to bridge a sudden unexpected gap in my care. I literally went without medication because I could not get an appointment with a new physician fast enough. Paying an extra $1800/year made no sense for me, and I'm sure many others. Most importantly for those considering Dr Rubin - she lists herself as "accepting new patients" on several health plans, which is totally misleading - because she only carries patients who accept and pay for the expensive concierge program. Her staff also denies she accepts Health Plans where she is listed as in network.

Dr. Rubin believes that if you do not buy into her concierge program, that you are not worth her time. She believes in unnecessary follow up appts as well as unnecessary tests. She is obviously out to earn a buck without keeping in mind the hypocratic oath that all doctors must take. If you are truly in pain you must be a drug seeker even if you jump through all her hoops just to get a simple RX. If possible find any other doctor. Especially one that is not all about the money!!!

Dr Rubin is the most professional, caring Dr I have encountered. I have been seeing her for about 9 years as has my husband and we find her office to be wonderful.
