If I could give no stars I would. Dr Rubenstein became my Dr around May when I was discharged from the ICU. Part of my illness is a very deep painful body rash. He wasn't willing to treat the rash with medicine; he told me to dilute bleach and put this all over my body. I am 47 and have been being treated for a few things for many years and he took it upon himself to cut the doses in half or more in every case. Recently, my rash became infected. He said he would not look at it nor was I getting antibiotics, to wash with Phisoderm. He even lied to me claiming my dermatologist sent him a note claiming I had no infection but he "lost the note." I had not seen her in months and she would never do such a thing. He also refused me the preventative antibiotic I need to take for honeymoon cystitis that has been my course of treatment for 3 years now. After him refusing to look at me, I had to go to Urgent Care. I had a bad case of cellulitis and was given oral and topical antibiotics. He didn't like this. It resulted in him terminating services with me. Citing no particular example in an official letter he alleges, "Inability to establish rapport." He did this 10 days ago and I am just now receiving the letter and he says he will only see me in the case of emergency for 30 days, well 10 have already passed. I am quite sick and all of the other Dr's here are compassionate and trying to figure out why. He knows I am sick, and it's a pandemic. Most Dr's are not taking new patients. I am going to be without my medication and he is well aware of this and doesn't care at all. I was very unhappy with his crazy statements and treatment denial but wanted to take my time choosing a new Dr. Instead I am left abandoned. This man needs to be reviewed because I cannot be the only victim of his erratic behavior and prejudiced attitude and outright cruelty. Do not go to this doctor.
