Dr. Rubenstein was recommended by my OB GYN. He repaired damage in my shoulder. He did a great job. He listened to my question and answered them clearly.

I’ve been to Dr Rubinstein for a precious shoulder surgery and that one is now perfect. Returned for the other shoulder. The entire staff was amazingly friendly and professional. A small glitch at the end when I think I was forgotten while I waited for my order paperwork. I eventually went out and sought someone and then got the orders with an appreciation for my patience. Would very highly, highly recommend both the doctor and the entire practice!

I really like the doctor and am hoping that he will solve my problem. Before I got there I was a little confused, because the e-mail I received from Zocdoc and his office had two different addresses. Also I answered all the questions online before the visit, but I had to fill in the form all over again there.

Staff was very nice, and office was very clean. I didn't get a chance to see Dr. Rubinstein himself but the other doctor was very friendly, knowledgable, and friendly
