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.

This doctor lies to patients
I went to see this doctor because of knee problems, I have two torn ligaments in my knee , his opinion was my knee functions the same as a healthy one. I asked him why he thinks that and he lied to me. This doctor has no integrity, find someone else, you will thank me later

I was struggling with a shoulder injury after a fall from a ladder for several months. Not knowing what was wrong was the most difficult part. Dr. Rubacha took the time to explain my injury, even showing me on my x-rays and MRI where the injury was. I realy appreciated him taking the extra time to make sure I understood everything. I'd highly recommended him.

Dr. Rubacha is an amazing orthopedic surgeon. He is knowledgeable and cares deeply about having a successful outcome for each of his patients. I was impressed about how he spent time to come up with a treatment plan that best help me as an individual. Highly recommend him.

I had a doctor's referral to see a Surgeon but this surgeon made me see his NP Leah Trahan first. The women talked over me and raised her voice to me, she also told me I could come back after I got tested and she would see me sooner but the told her staff 6 weeks so every week I called they couldn't give me an earlier time bc she lied. Then after 2 months I see this Matthew Rubacha character and he assured me I'll have my surgery in time to be one of the local Santa's now pushed back my surgery till middle of November and I won't get to be Santa and help provide a Christmas to homeless families bc Matthew Rubacha is more concerned about his Paycheck then his Patients. Don't trust Matthew Rubacha or definitely not his NP Leah Trahan

Matthew Rubacha is a lying joke, he pushed back my surgery twice. I went thru Covid evictions and lost unemployment 2mo ago and can't work until I have this surgery now he pushed it back again so I'm going to be homeless bc I don't have enough money to last me. I even explained my situation and he "Acted" all nice and caring but in all retrospect he doesn't care about his patients he only cares about his paycheck. Don't trust this guy as far as you can throw him
