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.

Very knowledgeable, good listener, polite and pleasant.

He gave me a thorough explanation with different alternatives to resolve my situation. We will try more conservative approaches to start and keep evaluating before proceeding with surgical solutions.

Clear and complete explanation
Dr Rubio provided a clear and complete explanation of my injury, the process and expected rate of the healing process, and the care that I should exhibit during the process. At this time no surgery is involved, so this review relates totally to his explanation of the non surgical steps based on the X-rays and current condition.

Dr Rubio is absolutely a very efficient competent
Dr Rubio is Absolutely An Excellent, Efficient and Competent Surgeon. I had two surgeries with him in different occasions. The First Surgery was my Right Shoulder in 2020. Recently, was my Right Wrist in 07-2024. Both times, I Procrastinated and Decided to Delay The Surgery Until The Pain Were So Severe That I Could No Longer Function With It. It was A Very Wrong Decision For Me To Have Delayed My Surgeries. Nevertheless, I Have Been Extremely Blessed to Have Surgeons of Various Specialties, Such As Dr Rubio. Both Surgeries Were Very Successful. My Right Wrist and My Right Shoulder Healed Completely. Beyond My Expectations, My Right Wrist and My RightShoulder Fully Recovered to its Normal Function As If Nothing Happened. Dr Rubio is very Kind, Gentle, Understanding and Never In A Hurry to Clearly Explain Everything to Me. He is Always Very Professional, Accommodating, Reassuring and Most Importantly, He is A Very Caring Human Being. He is Indeed a God's Blessing to Humanity.

I had hand surgery last year after I broke a phalange of my left pinky. Great outcome, including the therapy received. I will go for a triggered finger this week and have full trust in a total recovery. The doctor is amazing and the personnel very cordial as well.
