Dr. Brian Derubertis, MD

Dr Derubertis explained the results of my ultrasound throughly. He also listened to my concerns. definitely recommend this dr.

This review is from time at UCLA. Always made me feel at home. always communicated well, I always knew what was going on. I drove three hours to see him, now I am thinking about flying 4 1/2 hours to see him. He’s just that damn good.

Failure to properly treat a postoperative infection which resulted in sepsis and the death of my brother. My brother was being evaluated for a heart transplant, and in a delicate state. He had carotid artery surgery with DeRobertis and was poorly managed in postop. The wound was infected but the doctor wouldn’t the see him until 5 days later, pressed on the wound expelling large amounts of puss in a non sterile environment, and sent him home with an oral antibiotic prescription. He didn’t culture the puss and didn’t admit him or give him IV antibiotics. Negligence! The infection spread. My brother went to the ER and was admitted, but it was too late. He suffered in the hospital for 12 days fighting for his life, yet this Md did not come to see him. The medical team couldn’t find the source of the infection or get it under control. The result was multi organ failure from sepsis and death. He was only 53 years old.

Dr DeRubertis took care of a blocked innoment artery. I was in an out on a day.
