“I went to him for 2nd opinion, after an ongoing issue with another Ophthalmologist had been going on for 10 months.
Dr Rubinchik detected & solved problem that had been ongoing & constantly missed by previous ophthalmologist over many visits.

“I arrived and was accepted immediately the only waiting time was between examination since the eye drops had to influence the eyes.
Everyone is super nice, explaining everything and making sure you are comfortable”

very pleased with the whole office experience from front desk to technicians to provider. I highly recommend this office for eye care.
November 12, 2019Mark G.Verified patient
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?

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!
July 3, 2018Michele F.Verified patient
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.

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.

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.
July 25, 2017Heather C.Verified patient
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.

Excessive wait time
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
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.
August 26, 2016Laura G.Verified patient
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!!

March 3, 2016Irina G.Verified patient
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. :)
November 6, 2015Rivka G.Verified patient
