Dr. Rabinov was great. He Took plenty of time with me to explain my injury by going over the MRI and answering all of my questions.

I really appreciated that he made sure to check all of my full medical history before meeting with me. It made it a lot easier to have the discussion and move on to the conversation that was needed rather than going over unnecessary details that I've often gone over with other doctors before, despite it being in my medical history notes. So that was very, very helpful.

Dr. Rabinov is very thorough and very careful in what he has to say. He knows your medical history really well and listens very carefully. I never felt that my concerns were gaslighted or disregarded like I have had with other providers. His bedside manners are excellent and he does a very thorough examination. I feel very comfortable in his care and reassured of the decisions we both take for my healthcare needs. I highly recommend him both as a physician and as a person. He's amazing. Thank you.
