Jonathan B. Rubenstein, MD

I’ve been w/​Dr. Rubenstein for 13+ years. He is simply the BEST!!! Two cornea transplants.etc. etc. If you are looking for a great Doc… then look no further. Yes, sometimes you have to wait a while to see him… but, believe me, it’s worth it. He has offices in Skokie and Rush Medical. I also like his office staff and they are kept mighty busy… because he IS the BEST. MercedesR.

I went to Rush Eye care clinic for eye pain. The doctor determined I had severe inflammation and dry eyes. He told me,“I’m going to suggest that you try these gel drops over the counter. You need prescription eye drops, but those are really expensive.” *pause*
I had never seen this Doctor before in my entire life nor did I complain about prescription cost or healthcare coverage. I had insurance, paid my co-​payment and had a very serious eye problem that could only be cured with anti-​inflammatory eye drops, but he decided that they must be out of my budget!
My advice to Rush Medical Center is hire Doctors and put them through a cultural sensitivity class. I’m guessing he assumed that I must be poverty stricken, because my skin is brown, great.
Without a fuss I went to another eye Doctor (immediately after) for the correct prescriptions and medical care. Rush has a bad reputation for a very good reason.
I think it should be the customers decision on what they can and cannot afford. I’m sorry he stereotyped me, but he was very wrong in his assumptions! Medical school clearly does not teach class, respect, or decency.

I second Carolyn’s review on Dr. Rubenstein and his staff at Rush Eye Laser Center.
Had custom laser done in May of 2007 for myopia and can’t be happier with the results. Went from a –7.0 to a +1 correction. Being a middle-​aged guy, that is a great result.
Followup visits with the staff and Dr. Rubenstein continue to be great.
There are always chain-​type lasik centers that offer better prices than the local providers. My best advice is never choose a place on price since you don’t want to mess with your eyes.

I can see. I can SEE!
After years of wearing glasses and contact lenses, I finally decided to research LASIK. I was frightened by the idea of a laser coming anywhere near my eyeballs, but if it helped me see without contacts, I was willing to at least consider it. After checking several different options, I decided to make an appt at Rush Laser Eye Clinic. It was just down the street from where I worked, and I had heard good things about Rush Hospital.
During my first appointment, most of the time was spent with the med techs and they were all wonderful! I even spent some time talking with one about my upcoming vacation to Mexico (he was from Mexico). I then spent about 15 minutes with Dr. Rubenstein. The med techs had explained everything so thoroughly that I had very few questions for Dr. R. I was convinced, and scheduled my appointment for the following December (which was a few months away yet).
The morning of my appointment, a Friday, the same med techs from before prepped me for the procedure and explained what they were doing every step of the way. 20 minutes later, everything was done and I was ready to go home and take my required nap. Dr. Rubenstein and his assistants were great throughout!
Dr. Rubenstein called me on Saturday morning to make sure I was feeling okay. A doctor that makes phone calls on Saturday? Amazing! I was so pleased with my results, and everyone at Rush Laser Eye Center, that my husband had the same procedure done there a few months later!
