Leonard J Rubin, MD

I have been seeing Dr. Rubin for over 3 years now. He has helped me so much in controlling my depression. It seems like he really cares about my well-​being.
He is very straightforward and doesn’t play games, some people may not like that but it works fine for me. That’s why seeing a Psychiatrist and Therapist makes a good balance.
I can’t thank him enough for getting me through some of the toughest times in my life.
He always explains the medication and the side effects to me.
I have also never had to wait more than 10 minutes to see him.

excellent doctor. dr. Rubin does not play games but get straight to the point. he is as honest as honest could be. if you need somebody to hold your hand and tell you how everything is just going to be alright get a girlfriend or boyfriend. if you need a doctor who’s going to help you with the psychiatric problem that you have then you should go see dr. Rubin

STAY AWAY — A Pyscho psychiatrist: Dr. Rubin is by far the worst doctor I have ever met. If you want a rude, condescending doctor who won’t explain anything and gets pissed when you ask questions he’s your guy.
I’m a 25 year old woman and I started seeing him about 2 years ago for depression and he has always been sarcastic and has given me an attitude. First of all, He doesn’t explain anything about the medicine you are taking and doesn’t seem to care about anything but getting you out of his office with a prescription.
Today I went there because my medicine he prescribed was making me nauseous and I was still feeling very depressed. My sister who is studying psychology and is very concerned about my well being wanted to hear our discussion so she can make sure I am getting the help I need. I asked if I could call her so she can listen in.
He got mad and defensive and starting raising his voice that I don’t trust him and that he doesn’t want her listening to our conversation. This isn’t about him its about me. She is concerned about me and she wants to know what’s going on. He said oh you can do that on your own time now here!
This was my third prescription I have tried and I was still feeling very depressed. He prescribed a new medicine and only told me one side effect so I decided to google it. Then my sister was texting me making sure I ask him questions and he started raising his voice again asking what I was doing and telling me to stop texting her. Excuse me! I am paying for this session and this is about me getting better not him! I was so startled with the way he was treating me that I got up and left. He said ok give me back the medicine you don’t need that. So he left a depressed person with suicidal thoughts without medicine because he has some sort of ego problem. He wouldn’t give me a prescription either.
I left and came back and asked for the medicine because he should provide me with it since I am paying for the session. He said «you are very entitled to crazy things» «you have a lot of problems» «you never like any medicine I give you» yeah I’m entitled! I’m entitled to get the prescription that I am paying for! He has one job– literally one job.
I told him that he made me feel uncomfortable and he said «apparently a lot of people make you feel uncomfortable!» So he was making fun of me. What kind of doctor does makes fun of their patients and tells them they have problems?! I told him he was most definitely the worst doctor I have ever met and his response «oh I’m sure you will meet much worse. «so this guy is basically an asshole Pyscho doctor who doesn’t care about his patients. I am all out of medicine and now have to go search for a new doctor. like I said STAY AWAY. Please.

Great Listener and provider.

Extremely cold. Does not take the time to know you. Gives you prescriptions without getting your background. Extremely unprofessional comments when it came to obstacles I was battling.

very cold, while typing on computer, but he gave me vyvanse just for asking. spent about 3 – 5 minutes with me and got my script

Found Dr. Rubin through my provider directory and I feel like I lucked out. It’s always tricky to find good doctors with little or no endorsement from other patients, and limited information online. This is why I’m taking the time to put in a good word for Dr. Rubin.
His office is quiet and offers a good amount of privacy and confidentiality. The receptionist is great at answering insurance and billing-​related questions, and sends Google Calendar reminders for future appointments. Dr. Rubin himself is straightforward, professional, and will follow through to assure you’re on the right treatment plan. He is very intelligent, and has a good sense of humor. I sense that he is a highly experienced and well-​seasoned psychiatrist, and trust his ability to assess my conditions through brief conversations.
He is not going to spend tons of time with you, but show me a psychiatrist that does. At least he’s flexible with scheduling, and isn’t a profit-​driven jerk, like lots of people in the field. He will help you discover your medical needs, get you a good Rx, and out in no time. I’m pretty in touch with myself emotionally, so really this is all I need. Happy to find a doctor that I trust and plan to stick with!
