Dr. Rubin is a first class doctor. He is patient, thorough in his explanations and examination, and has a cheerful yet honest bedside manner. He is completely respectful of me as his patient and my wife with her questions. His advice and referral earlier to Dr. Taigen for my ablation is a referral that I shall always recall with gratitude. At this appointment, Dr. Rubin spent quite a bit of time with us as we discussed my upcoming hip replacement and future cardiac care. I am very grateful for Dr. Rubin.

Dr. Rubin was very thorough, very polite. I felt extremely comfortable with him, especially as this was my first visit. He took the time before he met with me to review my previous EKG's from another facility. I was treated as a respected adult. He explained very thoroughly to me my health Issue, and put me at ease. He wanted me to get an Echo, and as I lived almost 3 hours away, checked with the Echo tech to see if they might have an opening that day. I was grateful that he took the time to check. They were able to get me in, and I am very grateful. I certainly would recommend Dr. Rubin and his staff to others.
