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.

Bad Experience with Dr. Deben
I went to see Dr. Deben for a break in my elbow. She was not very unfriendly and abrupt. She recommend I have surgery. She told me that if I did not have the surgery I would have a major problem with the elbow going forward. I went for a second opinion and was told the the elbow healing nicely.

What an awful experience!
I waited in the waiting room for two hours, even though I had an appointment. When I went to the X-ray room the technician lady looked at me from head to toes twice and while she was doing the X-rays she was even cursing. The doctor's assistant was insanely rude and then the doctor says that I have to learn to live with the pain but at least I wouldn't die like if it was cancer. I will never step one foot again in this office.

Doesn't answers text messages, arrogant, no regards for the elders in big pain, takes her sweet time to take care of the situation and if you're in big urgent pain, sheis careless. One day soon, she'll be an old lady and all I hope is that she'll get the same treatment she gave me.....Useless. You are not a Doctor sorry.

Dr Deben is amazing! She had the best best care routine for my broken foot. I feel so much better after her care. She is vigilant, very caring and extremely honest and knowledgeable. I can’t say enough. She helped me to heal and was always available to advise me on next steps. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

I saw Dr Deben 4 months ago for bad pain in the upper part of my gluteus. She stayed in my room literally 5 minutes. She said that I had a piriformis muscle inflammation and she took an xray. I heard when she told to a medicine student that I had two vertebras moved out of place. She recommended phisical therapy and ibuprofen of 800 mg (just because I asked her for some painkiller) . Here I'm 4 month later same pain and bad pain in low lumbar after the physical theraphy. Never again.

Uffffff, what a Doctor.!! First things first. Went to her office at North Miami Beach, did not have to wait much, the staff is Super Great and Super nice, X Rays were on the go even before seeing the doctor, they do this because I already put what was going on with me on a sheet of paper, so why bother again. After X Rays a Doctor did a Pre Observation and then she came in. I honestly thought I need it surgery of a Spur on my right foot, but she said "Negative" what you need is a boot. Done

La doctora Deben es muy profesional, amable y precisa en su diagnostico. Tanto ella como su personal hablan español e ingles, las asistentes de su staff son por igual muy corteses. El doctor que te recibe antes de la evaluación de la doctora Deben parece un angel, muy cariñoso y simpatico. Ella tiene una oficina que irradia paz y seguridad de que estas en buenas manos.

Dr. Deben conducted foot surgery on me while I was serving in the military. Her incompetence or at least lack of follow-up led me leaving the service with excruciating pain when I walk, more so than prior to surgery. I'm shocked she's still practicing and feel hurt how a medical professional can drastically impact one's life without consequences. Even if just consciously awareness of opening flesh of another human without concern of their well being after that synthetic manipulation.

Dr Deben cares & spends time to understand your mobility/sports goals, then advises on several treatment options, incl surgery. Comprehensive approach. She gently guides you to the best plan. On surgery day she's cheerful and damn good at what she does. Post-op visits were helpful. I'm 6 months out and fully appreciate what she did to improve my quality of life.

Dr. Deben changed my life in the best possible way with her proper diagnosis and treatment. She accurately diagnosed that I needed surgery and told me that after a few months of recovery and therapy I would be able to go back to dance. I had my surgery a year ago and I'm so happy to say that I'm better than ever. Not only am I doing 2+ hours of daily exercise but a few days ago I became certified as a Zumba instructor. Thank you Dr. Deben, I will be forever thankful to you!
