Doctor was able to get me in after being referred by my sister in law. I thought I had a bad wound but it turns out it was just a dermatitis type issue. I did have a dermatology appointment a month later and he stated "that is to long" They called a Dermatologist they knew. Got me in right away and did not charge me for the visit. Yes, they did not charge me and went the extra mile to help me.

Dr. Ruben and his staff are absolutely Top Notch. The care that I received from each person at Encompass was truly 2nd to None. Dr. Ruben went above and beyond to make sure that my wound was treated properly, including a procedure that he performed late in the afternoon on a Sunday! The attention that I received by each person at Encompass addressed my individual needs in a manner that was warm and encouraging. Encompass is a place where the care provided for the patients is only exceeded by how much the staff cares about the people they treat. Dr. Ruben is a Special Doctor, and Encompass is a one of a kind facility for wound care. I cannot recommend them enough!

A couple of the infectious Drs I saw were clearly trying to profit of off IV antibiotics which in my case I feel would certainly have not resolved the problem In addition to being one of those money seeking Drs, he also poked and prodded me in ways that caused tremendous pain- again I feel that was not necessary. Another ID Dr I saw spoke ill of Dr Ruben also. I can see clearly why that is, and thankful I did not go forward with Dr Rubens treatment as it would have painful, potentially harmful, and I don’t think it would have addressed the problem properly

Dr. Ruben is excellent. My family drove 5 hours to see him and consult with him about my husband's mrsa infection. Dr Ruben " my consultation ends when you want it to end." Caring, extraordinary doctor.

Dr. Ruben and his staff provided outstanding care and compassionate support as I was recovering from a septic knee after replacement surgery. Although his office was a 45 min. drive away, the care I received was worth the distance traveled. I recommend him to anyone requiring Infectious Disease care.
