Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I am very grateful to have been referred to Dr. Rutstein. He is kind, compassionate, patient with me, experienced, and actively listens to me and works to create a treatment plan that is best suited to my needs. My depression has significantly improved over the past year since I began seeing Dr. Rutstein. He is an excellent doctor.

Dr. Rutstein is absolutely WONDERFUL! He has been so helpful to me over the past year, and my anxiety has become so much more manageable. He really listens to what I have to say, answers all of my questions thoughftully and thoroguhly, and truly cares about my well-being. I feel so comfortable working with him and that I am in such good hands. I’d recommend Dr. Rutstein to anyone! He’s by far the best doctor I’ve ever had.

I'd give him less if I could. I went to him for a 9/11 related condition. I saw him for a couple of years. He talks too much. Is too quick to prescribe. Is full of himself and does not do medicine properly. I didn't need to know that his wife struggles with her weight for years, or that he got a new dog and he uses his family Dyson hair dryer to dry the dog after a bath or any of the other personal stuff he told me in my sessions. He is a Psychiatrist and isn't supposed to be talking personal stuff. I tolerated it. I thought he just wanted me comfortable so I could talk. My husband developed cognitive issues. I spoke to Rutstein about them and asked if he could help, being a Psychiatrist "neurologist" and all. He said sure. He never once mentioned he would be doing monthly therapy sessions with him. After many years of my suffering with an unknown illness that I complained to Rutstein about out at almost each session along with many hospitalizations, unnecessary procedures, testing and

Worst front office personal I have experienced! Left multiple messages... FINALLY got a live person, only to be told they are NOT taking new patients. All other research and websites says Dr Rutstein IS taking new patients. Returning calls is common courtesy, polite staff would be nice, but seriously lacking at this office!! Feel like I dodged a bullet by NOT going to him!!!

Glad Not a patient in Boca Raton, FL – Aug 24, 2017
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Rutstein?
I was told by his staff when I asked if he was taking new patients, that he always calls back new patients to "talk to them" first. After not hearing from him after a week I called the office again and was told the same thing. I never heard from him.
