    Waste of my time and money!!Dr. Dubin took a quick glance at a severe rash Ive been fighting.It was already begining to heal,but I needed answers on what it was and to prevent it from happening again. He gave his diagnosis and a prescription for it.I asked about his diagnosis because it honestly didnt make sense.He stated he was "100% sure what it was" and became very curt and short with me and said I just needed to follow his orders.I went ahead and just followed everything he told me to do to a tee since he is a "specialist" and I was desperate to prevent any reoccurence. Condition came back a month later and worse then ever and his prescription had zero effecton it. I wish I would have researched him before going there.

    I was misdiagnosed by my primary doctor when I saw Dr. Dubin. He made the right diagnosis, ordered a confirming blood test, and spent as much time as I needed him to in explaining my condition. he even promptly returned my phone call when I had some additional questions the next day. I would highly recommend him.

    This doctor lectured me for wanting to ask about skin problems on several parts of my body. (Warta, age spots) He said I could only ask about one a visit. Spent 10 minutes. Charged for expanded visit.

    I have been to at least a dozen dermatologists throughout my life and when I finally found Dr. Dubin, my search was over. His knowledge and expertise has changed my life. I've suffered with ecsema for 30 years and I finally have relief. His office staff is wonderful-they are curteous and accommodating. Without reservation, I highly reccommend Dr. Dubin.

    I thought that he did a fantastic job dealing with my son. Never made us feel uncomfortable and listened/answered questions very well. I would highly recommend Dr. Dubin for anyone looking for a true professional who is looking out for your best interests. Great job!

    Any superlative for Worse, describes this doctor. I never experience a rude, arrogant and unhelpful doctor my whole life. I couldn't wait to get out his office. A person with this personality shouldn't be in the healthcare /service industry, but in an island with no human contact.

    I think he is a good Doctor a;though seems a little rushed. I have silaca and he didnt make me feel uncomfortable about it and said thousands of others have it, the only problem with him is he seems to not read the chart, he didnt tell me if the medivine would interfere with my bith control i found out after i read the pamphlet you get when you get medicine at walgreens

    My husband saw him twice. He was being treated for boils. The doctor is very arrogant. My husband is allergic to penicillin and this doctor prescribed him a tectricyclin for the boils. This drug made my hubands body shut down. He got chills, was unable to urinate, a really bad skin rash, and his blood pressure was dropping fast. We had to go to the emergency room to get him straighten out. What kind of doctor would give a patient tectracyclin knowing he is allerigic to penicillin. I will never go back to this doctor!

    as it known patient intitled fro 15 min with the service from the dr.Dubin spent 3 seconds. did not look an the rush. left the room. came back with the prescription, which did not help. will anybody explain, why do patients have to pay the doctors if they never recived a service? he is absolutely arrogant joke. do not go to see him. knows nothing. no matter what doctors get paid. if it changes maybe they will be as rest of the world. to get paid they should work for it. no treatment, no pay.

    Biography

    Dr. Dubin was born and raised in the Chicago area. After graduating from Northwestern University, he obtained his M.D. degree from The University of Illinois at Chicago. He completed a one-year internship in internal medicine at Lutheran General Hospital, followed by a residency in dermatology at Cook County Hospital, where he was named chief resident in his final year. He was certified by the American Board of Dermatology in 1989. Dr. Dubin is indebted to several people who have shaped his career path, and have helped him achieve all that he has to this point. His father-in-law, the late dermatologist Dr. Roland S. Medansky, introduced him to the marvelous field of dermatology. His long-time partner, Dr. Samuel Solomon taught him a great deal about how to care about as well as for patients. Dr. Dubin’s many teachers and colleagues instilled within him a lifelong passion for learning and transmitting his knowledge to others. Upon finishing his residency, Dr. Dubin joined North Suburban Dermatology Associates, a thriving dermatology practice located in Gurnee, IL, where he is currently sole owner. He is an active member of the Chicago Dermatological Society, and he was honored to serve as it’s President in 2009. He is also a fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology, and a member of the Great Lakes Dermatological Society ( President, 1999 ). In addition to attending many local and national meetings and speaker programs, Dr. Dubin has spoken on dermatological topics to community groups as well as to physicians in other fields of medicine. He has also volunteered his time to perform skin cancer screenings to the public. Dr Dubin is married, with four children–an occupational therapist, a social worker, a physician assistant and an undergraduate business major. He is a wine enthusiast who also enjoys cooking, playing tennis and traveling.
