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.

Did not feel comfortable with him in the room
From the moment he waltzed in, he made it known that he was the most educated person in the room. I felt judged and scrutinized, and not in a caring professional manner either, I felt more like a file and a name that he skimmed through than an actual patient. He continuously interrupted me when I attempted to explain my symptoms, he made classless assumptions about my lifestyle. I felt like he had no intention of listening to me whatsoever, I left urgent care feeling misunderstood and unheard.

Excellent communication with my caregiving client.
He remembered my client from a one time contact when she was in a nursing care facility nearly a year ago. His interest in her present issue came across as very through & professional, yet caring & compassionate. He made sure that he understood her present medications & verbally explained all of the potential benefits as well as the cautionary risks should she add or increase dosage of a blood pressure Rx. I’d call it great “bed-side-manor” & being involved in health care at every level from Neighborhood clinics & my degree in community services to writing for a nationalHealth magazine & then in “retirement” doing training under one of the best Elder care/ amputee/ PhD nurses in the region I’ve been in demand as a caregiver in my community with excellent letters of recommendation. I’ve taken care-clients to many, many appointments & Dr. Ruben Green made an excellent impression on us, speaking for Ms. Latrell & myself.His personality was sincere & very accessible.

Rushed and wrong
His presence in the room was very judgy even though he was only in here for a max of 5 minutes. I’m only in here because a nurse on the phone was concerned about my symptoms with a previously diagnosed sciatica issue. He says it’s just back pain and prescribed me over the counter stuff I’ve tried for the last 2 months that have not helped at all. I told him everything that happened from the start of my pain and everyone else in this building I’ve told have said it’s definitely a nerve issue.

“Go home and eat some salt”
That was actual medical advice from Dr. Green…
