Rubeo Thomas J Jr MD

Several years again my primary on/​gym and dr. Rubeo delivered my daughter via c-​section. My doctor left for vacation one week after my daughter was born. Dr. Ruben was the covering Doctor. I had complications a few days after leaving hospital, hemmoragging, and not feeling my uterus contract while nursing. I went to see dr. Rubeo who was covering. He did an ultrasound and said all was fine. I then continued to hemmoragging and met dr. Rubeo in the ER. He packed me and did another ultasound. Again said all is fine, but put me on Zithromax. Zithromax is good for an ear infection, not anything more serious. Three days later I called office complaint of just not feeling right. He told me it was post partum depression and prescribed an antidepressant! I already had 2 older children and this was not my first c-​section. A few days later I had 103 degree fever. I had my mother in law drive me to dr office to see my primary ob/​gyn who upon examination was told my uterus was hours away from rupturing!!! I had gotten an infection probably from the c-​section and the infection was now in my bloodstream. I was in a very strong antibiotic for 6 months, an anti depressant and anti anxiety pills and missed the first year of my daughters life. I never sued. He left that practice and so did I. If he had only taken the time…

Dr. Rubeo has been my OB/​GYN for over 28 years. He delivered both my sons (now 27 and 20)! His staff over the years have been caring, pleasant and responsive. They have always accommodated my work and travel schedule helping me secure an appointment without too much trouble. If I had a daughter she would be a patient of Dr. Rubeo. I hope he delivers my grandchildren one day.

Dr. Rubeo was a God send! After an otherwise healthy pregnancy, I was faced with an emergency delivery. Dr. Rubeo put me at ease, advising me of the best plan of action for my baby and I. We both turned out fine, which could have been very different had the doctor not been as experienced as Dr. Rubeo. His staff has always been friendly and helpful. His office hours allowed me to take little time off for prenatal appointments during my pregnancy. I would wholeheartedly recommend this doctor to anyone looking for an excellent OB/​GYN in lower Westchester!

After bouncing from dr to dr, I finally found a «home» at Dr. Rubeo’s office. Dr. Rubeo and his nursing and office staff have always been warm, welcoming and accommodating. He delivered both of my children. Both he, his nurse (Veronica), the office manager (Michelle) and the staff walked me step by step through everything from medical tests/​procedures to insurance/​billing. I appreciate that they always remember me, my children and even other family members who attend appointments with me. I have found them to be nothing but professional and caring. I recommend him to all of my friends who are looking for an ob/​gyn.

Michelle, the Office manager was rude and unapologetic. She kept speaking over me during a phone call and I couldn’t finish a sentence. I asked her to stop and listen. She said she had other things to do. Wow.

I called just to «inquire» if an appointment was available. They went ahead and made an appointment without my OK and then sent me months of «no-​show», cancelled appointment bills. I had to contact my company-​sponsored Health Advocate to get the charges dropped. The billing system is antiquated. They do not accept health cards or credit cards. You have to pay out-​of-​pocket even if you have insurance and then get reimbursed by your insurance company. Too much hassle. Too old-​fashioned.

The rudest reception staff I have ever encountered in all my years. Unbelievable. Each time we phoned it was unbearable. Even the «manager» is insufferable. Constantly screw up appointments and then send you a cancelled appointment bill! Dr. Rubeo takes off most Thursdays and Fridays so good luck making an appointment if you work for a living.
