    Everyone at the Rubin Institute under the leadership of Dr. Bennett and Dr. Gartner go out of their way to get me appointments that fit my schedule (Gartner squeezed me in because my schedule got changed last minute). Samuel Thompson has called me or emailed me at 8pm at times because he's still working. April at the front desk is a gem; greets me, make me laugh and is a breath of fresh air. Irene, my nurse greets me with a smile and remembers our prior conversations... she's also very sweet. I chose to add treatment to my trip from Florida while visiting Maryland this week. Dr. Bennett and the staff has been preforming surgeries (6) since 2018 for our family members along with several PRP injections which I got 2 this week. Happy/balanced people that have a sense of agency and input are key in your staffing.

    The front office staff barely talked when I came in, maybe it was early. The young lady that read responsible for appointments and checking you in, opposite the walk in person, warmed up and then was lovely.

    The X-ray guy was awesome with my son and me. He made it not scary and made it fun. He let us see the pictures which is the best part of getting an X-ray now days. The doctor didn't even show us the current X-rays that were taken which would have helped explain/show my son that his finger was still broken.

    It was just easy... once we arrived exactly which receptionist just to go to, and a receptionist kindly offered to help. We were only about five minutes early and sat down in our chair to wait for the doctor and right at our appointment time 2 o'clock, our name is called to go back. The nurse or physician assistant was very helpful in getting the basic information for the doctor and then the doctor came in. After the assessment with the doctor, we were given a brace and my son was cleared to play soccer the next evening. Amazing and excellent experience, very efficient. Thank you.

    My regular doctor was out for the week and the earliest appointment to see him was a week away. Unfortunately my knee pain got increasingly worse and this doctor was gracious enough to squeeze me in as a walk in. She was very accommodating and attentive. I received instant relief under her care and am very appreciative.
