Excellent endocrinologist. Very patient. He listened & answered all my questions. I usually ask him to check to see if my thyroid glands were enlarged or not but forgot to ask him during this visit.

Finding out you have diabetes is a downer in itself. I worked out everyday so it actually upset me to find i was a diabetic.It takes a strong DR to make you comfortable and convince you it's not the end of the world.When you first take on a specialist it's kind of like a chess game to see if he says what you want to hear. Dr. Rushakoff tells it the way it is. If you want to get better you heed his directions. He takes pride in what he does and i am blessed to have been referred to him. Oh yes his assistant OMA is a great receptionist because she gets your messages correct.I would not hesitate to refer Robert Rushakoff in a minute.
