Patient Comments
Dr. Rubery is a star. He is a skilled listener who shows empathy and combines it with the realistic message--whatever it is. He understands from his years of experience what the patient is thinking and worried about and brings that to the surface. I appreciated his style and delivery and knowledge. I feel lucky to have him as my orthopedist. Thank you Dr. Rubery.
