“General experience was good and progress was made in determining what my issue was and how to treat it. My only complaint was that i was asked to do e-check in 2 times but when i got to office the reception insisted I had to do again. Finally a supervisor interacted and my info was located in the system.”

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Aaron Rubinstein. From the initial consultation to post-treatment follow-ups, they were professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. Dr. Aaron R. took the time to explain my diagnosis and treatment options in detail, which made me feel confident and informed throughout the process.
September 10, 2025Tatiana C.Verified patient
Dr. Rubenstein was great. My wrist had been hurting for months since a snowboarding accident. One day I woke up and it was unbearable. I was able to schedule an appointment that same day. They saw me immediately, gave me an x-ray, diagnosis, and prescription in less than an hour. It was the best and most efficient doctor's appointment I've ever experienced.
August 28, 2025Niat M.Verified patient

Very poor communication! Had time slots open but when I got there office was closed! Decided to give another try and got a call 2 hours before appointment to cancel because they don’t treat a certain issue. Not professional or considerate of time!
