Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Spot found on my larynx 7-2023
September biopsy on my larnyx proved to be cancerous. In October, I met Dr Rubin. His medical staff and Dr rubin did the surgery consult. They all were very reassuring, kind and extremely confident this could be taken care of. They told me everything to expect, I had a choice of hospitals, it was going to be an outpatient procedure and explained how these cancer cells are persistent and sometimes it takes several laser surgeries. I have had 3 surgeries November, January and March. I just went back for a second post-op appt, and Dr Rubin and and his staff were very thorough during this visit. The Dr's that were in there all taking a look at the videos of my throat. Everything looks great they said, so your next appt will be in 3 months because we have to keep an eye on it. Thank you very much!

So very arrogant, unprepared for second opinion
I was appalled at how arrogant he was. Unprepared for my appointment, and couldn’t find my paperwork, until his resident found info. He told me right away he knew my ENT well, and she was very good. He asked for details, and then interrupted me to ask what I wanted. My cousin, who is a retired doctor was with me, and reiterated for a second opinion. He berated and gaslight me, stating that I couldn’t have gone through a period of aspirations, until my cousin again stated I had. He was careful with putting the camera down my nose, and took extra care to put it in the left nostril, when the right hurt. I was impressed with his technique and grateful. He told me the procedure I had earlier was perfectly done, even though I still can’t talk. Suggested this was due to way I was forcing talk previously. He did have me see an excellent speech therapist, who gave me some techniques. As a mental health therapist, I was appalled at the gaslighting. Initially felt like I was wasting his time.

Personable and Professional
My first visit to Dr. Rubin for what I hope is a minor problem. Found him and Liz very thorough. After a detailed exam he clearly explained what he saw as the likely problem in terms I could understand and the recommended course of action. Certainly for anything voice related, I would definitely recommend Dr.Rubin and his staff.

Vocal Chord Surgery - Best Possible Experience!
Dr. Rubin was incredible to work with from my diagnosis through surgery. He is kind, knowledgeable, has a sense of humor, and it is clear he is an expert in the field. I am a sales professional and public speaker and had been hoarse for months- he quickly diagnosed my condition and helped me understand exactly what to expect from surgery through recovery. Everything was smooth sailing, and I continue to see him and his team for follow-up. I am so thankful for his care and would 100% recommend him...he is clearly a trusted professional in the medical community as all of my other practitioners have told me I saw the best of the best!
