Guest guest Posted October 25, 2001 Report Share Posted October 25, 2001 Although my surgeon is extremely busy (and that is putting it mildly), he has always taken his time with me...from my consult to pre-op to in-pat visits to my follow ups. He is genuinely concerned about me, as a person as well as a patient. He always addresses my needs & questions. He has even gone so far as to talk to me about my work and personal interests. This surgeon has given me hope and a new life...and has done so with warmth, grace and style. I thank God everyday that I am fortunate enough to be one of his patients. gail fran 9/7/01 dr. rabkin > > > > Just once, just one time I would love someone to > say that they had a > > surgeon they loved but they know s/he is human and > like other > humans, > > may have lapses in judgment and imperfect skills. > > > > I'm *not* holding my breath. > > ===== gail fran 9-7-01 dr. rabkin __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that some gripes about the office staff and financial policy are valid, but my personal experience with the doctor has been only positive. I have never felt hurried or dismissed, only valued and cared for by Dr. Rabkin. I also consider myself very fortunate to be his patient, and to have gotten in at a time when things were easier, and that my insurance went without a hitch. And the wonderful friends in the support network in SF are just the best... I miss them all!!
