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.

Ironically Dr. Douglas Rubinson has a video posted where he speaks to his compassion and great care when dealing with cancer patients. Our family experience was totally different. In first meeting with Dr. Rubinson to discuss cancer and treatment he seemed totally distracted, In fact during the meeting he looked at his watch which left all feel that too much of his time was being taken and that never rested well with us. He may have all the credentials of being a premier Medical Oncology specialists but he needs to always remember that each patient in which he deals needs his full attention. Each cancer patient is concerned and relies on Dana Farber staff to devote full attention during intake meeting. Also disappointed in post surgery follow up. Did not address live cells in removed tumor and elevated blood levels that indicated something was wrong. Result...patient died in two months because of cancer spread throughout the body.
