Steve Rubin is amazing! He has the knack for putting you at ease and explaining to you EXACTLY what he's going to do. He shows you x-rays (away from the dreaded dental chair) and gives you whatever options exist for treatment as well as telling you what treatment he prefers and why. He listens, he answers questions. His nursing and office staff are helpful, polite, and gentle.
The man has golden hands. I am, unfortunately, quite an expert on oral surgery, and I have never had any work on me with such gentleness. Swelling has always been minimal and pain as well. Once a procedure didn't "work," and Dr. Rubin counseled re-doing the procedure (at no additional cost to me even though I waited over a year to do it). As far as I'm concerned, he should be rated #1 among NY oral surgeons and implant specialists. He is a lovely man and a careful, skilled clinician. Can't say enough good things. Only sorry I didn't find him before some other people made me quite unhappy.
About Front Desk: Wonderful. You can tell a lot about a doctor from his front office staff, and these folks are a perfect introduction to a fine doctor. They are polite, kind, flexible, helpful, and extremely nice. They get that you are in pain, that sometimes you get things wrong, and they are unflappable and lovely to deal with.
