Patient reviews for Dr. Edward Rubinchik
He’s a doctor in the American Health Care system. What do you want me to say? You wait too long, you see way too many NP’s and medtechs, then when you finally see his holiness, you are in there for 5 seconds while he asks you the same questions the nurse asked you 30mins ago. He is a money making robot man with no sense of duty or human compassion. He is a businessman, health care is a business, your eyes are paychecks. But hey, what else you going to do with crap insurance in Brooklyn?
Short wait time, doctor is a good listener.
I had one of the worst doctor's visit. The office was dirty, wait time was 40+minutes and my eye didn't get treated.
The whole staff was very friendly with my scary self about everything. LOL
Great
Excellent.
Absolute pleasure visiting this Office. All staff members here were very nice. Good thing here is there were no wait times. I recommend this place and will be going back. Thanks
Very kind, professional and helpful.
I saw Dr. Leon Aleksandrovich for a vision issue and I highly recommend this place! It is a tiny facility, however, the staff is fast and efficient. I was very pleased with the service from the assistants they made me feel comfortable and at ease so thank you so much!
Everyone was respectful and professional.
He is kind and helpful. Waiting time was fast.
The service was excellent, the front desk took my insurance and my ID and in no time I was ready to see the doctor, the pre test was super fast. My appointment took no more than 1 hour from time I came in and left.
Made me feel extremely comfortable about everything that was going on and provided reassurance when needed.
Nice doc. Efficient office staff.
Very thorough several tests done. Very pleased with dr, assistants and staff.
The staff was very attentive and polite. They also made sure the patient understood their billing process and services. The environment was clean, quiet and pleasant. The doctor and assistants were pleasantly professional. The visit was great!
A bit disappointed with Zocdoc and the service provider. I filled out all the forms on zocdoc. Spent my valuable time. When I got the the Doctor the secretary was very rude and told me that zocdoc is useless and they do not accept they forks. The secretary said that zocdoc forms make it harder for them and I must fill out their forms. I ended up spending another 20 minutes filling out the forms. This is really disappointed. Other than that doctor was really nice.
Great office convenient to many trains. I was seen relatively quickly despite a busy office. Doctor had a great sense of humor and took his time addressing all my concerns.
He was very thorough in my eye examination and gave me several treatment options for my specific condition and walked me through what each of those options would entail. I highly recommend Dr Rubinchik.
a warm reception, very professional assistants, dr. rubinchick's office inspires confidence and his straightforward manner and quick wit are a pleasure to experience.
He was very professional, mannerable, straightforward with his diagnosis, easy to comprehend, polite and compassionate. I would recommend him to other clients.
Really great Doctors and Techs. I was very nervous and everyone was really great.
My appointment today was great! I was seen right away. Staff was friendly and professional. Dr. Rubinchik was kind, diagnosed me quickly and seemed knowledgeable.
I had a pleasant visit. Everyone was courteous and professional. The office and equipment was very clean and I was seen almost immediately. The whole visit was about 30-40 min long. They performed all nessesary tests and found the damage in my left eye. They than gave me a recommendation to a specialist needed to fix the problem. I intend to use them again in the future for follow ups and further testing as needed and I would recommend them to you and anybody else that needs to see an opthalmologist.
It was fine
Excessive wait time
I know Dr. Rubinchick for many years. Next month his office would be closer to my home and probably continue to see this doctor. All office stuff really friendly and professional, the waiting time a little bit longer, then I expected: visit to oftalmologist take a lot of time, because of tests. All together with travel time took more, then 3 hours of my time. I am going to make appointment using your application again. Thank you.
There are many patients so my waiting time is understandable but the way i was attended to first by the clinician wasvvery professional and then when it was time for Dr. Rubinchik to check me he was very thoroughb & helpful. Would definitely visit him again for any ophthalmic cocerns even though its far from us. We live at Rego Park Queens but its worth the visit .Satisfactory!!
My appointment was for 3:30pm and I called in to see the doctor right away. He has a very good bedside manner. Very informative.
He is good doctor
I had my first appointment with Dr. Rubinchik today. the staff at the front desk were pleasant, and friendly. The wait time before I was seen was very minimal. the woman who took me in first to do the eye exam/dilate the pupils, took her time with me, was very thorough and patient, and answered any questions I had. I had a very good experience at this office, and would definitely recommend this doctor to friends. :)
Highly recommend. I had an average vision, but he recommended me NOT to have particular surgery as it does not gives me any advantage!
Execent doctor, i really reccomend him.
I waited an hour and 20 mins. He rushed my appointment. He actually checked my eyes for a total of 10 minutes. This will be my first and last visit!
Very friendly and knowledgable. He put me at ease regarding my diagnosis and treatment
He was good, really helpful and a very nice person
It was great. I was seen right away. He explained to me very well.
He was very thorough, explained everything. I will definitely recommend him.
Great doctor. I would highly recommend.
The doctor gave me 3 expired lubricating eye drops
Good doctor. Quick, professional.
Excellent doctor, great staff, very good atmosphere.
