    Great attitude and answered all questions without hesitation. Explained why follow up tests were important. Although it didn't pertain to my care. Like most physicians, he appeared to be on a time limit imposed by the hospital.

    This was my first time talking to this provider. He spoke, he was very knowledgeable, but spoke in very technical language. And so I struggled at times to get a precise understanding of what he was saying. But he did, upon questioning, restate things until I did understand them. That's all.

    He was very knowledgeable and honest about what he could and couldn't do. He wanted to consult with others to determine the best treatment for my rare condition. His thoughtfulness and care for my quality of life were greatly appreciated. I'd highly recommend him.

    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.

  • Reviewed on 2/26/2026

    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 was well prepared for our meeting and was familiar with my medical history before we began. He was clear in communicating his thoughts and was generous with explanations of more complicated aspects of my situation. I'm thankful for his kindness and expertise, and I'm grateful to have him as my doctor :)

    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.
