    The only problem was I needed a walker and they did not have one. If I would have known I would have brought my own walker. Otherwise everything was great.

    My issue is primarily with the schedulers when I called to schedule my appointment and described what my issues were, the receptionist scheduled me with a doctor that does not do rotator cuff tears. I wasted my time money (copay) and leave from work to sit in the office with the doctor for five minutes to tell me that he could not help me.

    All of the staff at Rubin were a perfect 10 when it comes to what's expected at a healthcare facility. Dr. Assayag was very clear and upfront with me as far as what to expect from this major surgery. He also made it very clear as far as the risks that are related to the surgery. Dr. Assayag is a great communicator. When you leave his office, you feel like he has covered all the bases. This is role model healthcare!

    Yes, I was very satisfied with my appointment, even though I didn't get my knee taken care of right away. And, you know, it was going about about insurance and everything, but he's gonna let me know like he did before. I've been there before and I really like, you know, the doctor and how the people treated me.

    The appointment was for 11:15 we arrived around 10:30 and were taken back for x-rays around 11:00. We then waited in the waiting room until 12:15 and then the actual time with the doctor was 3 minutes. This was very frustrating.
