Great experience with Dr. Danilova Rufina Yakubo. She was attentive and helpful in answering all of my questions and making sure I understand the tests.
September 27, 2021Tyler G.Verified patient
Great experience. Their system was having some issues, so there was a bit of timing mixup when I arrived, but it was quickly resolved and I was seen by the provider and checked out in great time. Can't recommend more.

amazing service

I found Dr. Yakubov very kind and understanding. I saw her for tinnitus I had been experiencing and she was thorough in her testing and helpful in her suggestions.
March 2, 2021Paige R.Verified patient
Don’t see her for tinnitus. She’ll check your hearing and then tell you to see a primary-care or ENT doctor. The fault isn’t hers so much as it’s Zocdoc’s for recommending an audiologist for tinnitus.
