Dr. David Rubins, MD

Dr Rubins performed a partial replacement on one of my hips 14 years ago and the work has stood the test of time!

Dr Rubin & Staff are the best. Caring knowledgeable and excellent surgeon.

Scheduled an appointment with Dr. Rubens at 360 Orthopedics in Lakewood Ranch in early May. Was told that I needed a hip replacement. I asked if I’d be able to attend a wedding in early July and he said that I should be ok barring any complications but that he’d prefer to do it after the wedding July 13. He also said he was changing practices but to call his current practice in July and they’d provide his new contact info in Manatee County. I called them 6 or 7 times to get his new phone number and ultimately was told he hadn’t yet left 360 Orthopedics and no one new what his new contact info was. I asked that he call me. No one called me. When I was able to finally get his contact info again after repeated calls, I called his new practice and was told he hadn’t yet started and that his new practice did not have VA credentials. His new practice was and is Manatee Physician Alliance. I asked to have him call me. His nurse called me, said that she had discussed my surgery with him and that he recalled me and still wanted to perform the hip replacement. When I called his new office to inquire about scheduling, I was told that he still didn’t have VA credentials and that it might take up to a year to secure them, After 4 to 5 more calls over another 3 weeks to his office and repeated calls to the Community Care division of the VA and a great deal more pain, I simply gave up on Dr. Rubens and have had to start this whole process over with another Orthopedic Surgeon. It’s now August 3, 2022. While I still do not have a surgery scheduled, the best guess estimate is sometime in November, nearly 6 months after I initially sought help from Dr. Rubens. While I understand fully that not every practice accepts VA patients, I blame Dr. Rubens for wasting my time and causing me undue pain if his new practice (Manatee Physician Alliance) was not going to allow him to accept me as a VA surgical patient. At the least he should have known that, he should have communicated to me the reason why what he had told me twice was not going to happen and that his new practice was more interested in profit than prior physician-patient commitments. Manatee Physician Alliance also has considerable culpability in this matter. The Office Manager with whom I spoke never asked what other health insurance I had or what other payment methods I could offer. All she wanted to do was dissuade me from pursuing the hip replacement with Dr. Ruben’s or anyone else within their practice. Absolutely a horrible experience with Dr. Rubens and Manatee Physician Alliance.

I have been a patient of Dr. Rubins for more than 6 years and have always found the service that he provides to exceed my expectations. When he performed my operation, he did a fantastic job to explain the procedure, he was attentive and kind, and always happy to answer any of my questions. Dr. Rubins is a true professional and I found him to be a person of impeccable integrity. I had an amazing experience, would trust Dr. Rubins for any future procedures, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to my friends and family.

My husband Armand Bedard had his right knee replaced by Dr Rubins with great success, and the the wonderful Matt assisting. We miss them both very much. I’m his wife Donna and going for shots for my knees now oh how I miss Matt never felt a thing. We will thing about going to Florida when we need. The next knee OP. Good Luck to you both. We miss you both. Wonderful people. Thank you

Absolutely ?? Wish he was still in CT NEED HIM AGAIN. Considering flying to Fla. just to have him do my surgery ??Not only is he great at what he does he is kind considerate and caring. So distraught.......... by the way where’s Matt your side kick...? Help help help

Best doctor ever had wish you was back in Connecticut again when I have my other knee done and coming to visit him

Dr Rubins has the best program for helping people who need joint replacement be it a hip, knee or shoulder. After initial visit with doctor and determining the joint to be replaced, the entire team of nursing, anesthesia ,physical therapy and home care sets up discussions with patients so patient knows every step of the process. His expertise in joint replacement is superior ! He is a very gentle, caring and empathetic doctor who addresses all your needs! I would never consider anyone else but him for my joint replacement!!

I am post hip replacement 5 yrs. I have not had any pain since that surgery. I felt Dr. Rubins had my best interest. I have referred many patients to him.

I cannot recommend Dr Rubins due to my past experience with a full hip replacement he performed 3 years ago. When cut my quad tendon to relax it during the operation he cut too much off of it. He tried suturing it but it detached from the bone during my physical therapy, I went back to Dr Rubins twice explaining how I was feeling but he discounted and did not give me a thorough examination. I went for a second opinion and it was confirmed on the very first visit my quad was detached continue

I waited so long to have a hip replacement.....but after interviewing a few doctors, I decided to go with Dr. Rubins. I am so glad! My experience and outcome with Dr. Rubins was excellent!!! He uses the most up-to-date methods so that my recovery was a breeze and I was back to work in three weeks. Awesome! Pain is gone. Don't wait!!

Dr. Rubins is great! Saw me in the ER when he wasn't even on call but I requested him! Surgery was done the following day (on my ankle even though he primarily does knees and hips). No issues during surgery or post-op! Would recommend him to family and friends without a doubt!

The best experience from pre op to post op. Just follow the Doctor's instructions and you are good to go. Had a hip replacement 5 weeks ago and feel great. I had no pain after surgery. The best choice I could have made in surgeons. I had two other surgeons recommended to me and I am glad I chose Dr. Rubins. He also has a great PA Matt!
