Not sure what to say?

I was a patient of Dr Rubin´s for several years, and like so many, my hearing problems were healed by his medical expertise, and no hearing aid was required. I enjoyed getting to know him while being his patient. My life moved on and I lost touch with him but I continued to follow his treatment plan I am all the better for his health care. My condolences to you all, his dear family. He was a beautiful Christian who shared his faith with his patients. I remember him often.

I remember the many wonderful meals and bottles of good wine we shared over the years some in SanFrancisco. The Magnum of an old 1920's Calon Segur for his 50th birthday in S.F.

He was brilliant, witty, generous and fun. He was my friend Leslie's father and I adored him.

Today (11/3/17) Dr. Rubin's name came up in speaking with a friend of mine with ear problems. I recounted how Dr. Rubin treated my first horrid ear infection with gentleness and efficiency. He introduced me to at the time alternative treatment methods that aided in swift and complete healing all of which I continue to practice to this day and have passed along to all my family members and many friends. He was ahead of his time, so brilliant, so cordial and gentle, so respectful. He was...

So sorry to hear of Dr. Rubin's passing. He always made me feel comfortable and at ease. Loved his jokes too!

My prayer & Condolences to the family I went to Dr.Rubin for many years wherever his office moved I went to not only was he a great doctor but he was a great friend,and will be missed dearly by many.

Dr Rubin never entered a room without that big smile! He was loved by many, especially our family.

An outstanding physician and an even more special human being. Dr. Rubin loved his patients and made each one feel special. When you needed him he always made himself available. Dr. Rubin will be remembered lovingly.
