This was our first time meeting Dr. Dubina, and he was wonderful. My son really liked that he was included in the treatment plan (recommended physical therapy), rather than dictated to. Dr. Dubina told him his recommendations and the reasons and told my son it was up to him whether or not he chose to do it. My son felt valued, heard, and cared about. The resident we saw was great as well, connecting with my son over the shoes he had on. Overall, an excellent appointment.

We love Dr. Dubina. We always have a good experience with him. We wish all of our doctors were as wonderful to deal with. His calm manner and his thoroughness in answering questions made this whole experience much easier. I prayed before we were appointed a surgeon and he was the answer to that prayer. I can't imagine having to go through this experience with any other doctor. I would highly recommend him to any family that had to go through this. I felt so blessed and relieved to have him. I was really nervous about this procedure and having a negative experience would made it so much more difficult. Dr. Dubina was truly a blessing to us through this.

[...] I do appreciate the doctor specifically asks the patient questions and how she feels (not just the parent) and does a great job managing the emotional and physical concerns.

He was great with my son and explained everything to me. He had a different opinion then our old surgeon Dr [...] and that makes it hard to know what the right decision is.

Dr. Dubina was very gentle and kind. He was very friendly and patient with my 3 year old that had to come with us also. He listened to me and answered my questions and I felt he was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Both times I've come to this office I've had a great experience.
