He saved my life. He is the best. If you need a brain surgeon, look no further...., Dec 2, 2011 The world renowned Dr. Allan H Friedman is one of the most dedicated doctors I have ever met. He has dedicated his life to brain and vascular surgery. All I can tell you is that he saved my life when I had a very large brain tumor. I put my life in his hands and he gave me back my life. Thank God for creating such a fine and talented person. He has a gift and he uses it. He is so down to earth. I owe you big time, Dr. Friedman.

Not a good Primary Care Physician Staff misrepresents..., May 14, 2012 Interviewed staff prior to my selecting this doctor as my primary care physician for myself and my children. Based on their responses I chose this doctor. Big mistake! Can't even get an appointment for months! The staff stated it was easy to get appointments and made this doctor out to be accessible. FALSE. I'd be better off going to Quick Care. So, 'buyer beware.' Turns out the doctor is currently on a TWO WEEK vacation and doesn't even have a back up physician to assist in her absence. Wow...... what are they suppose to do in your absence? Neglectful practice. |

Excellent Doctor, nice staff and now pain free!!!!!..., Feb 20, 2012 I have been suffering with arthritis and joint pain since l966, when I had a childhood accident and dislocated my hip. After two years of doctors "practicing medicine" and finally taking a simple xray which showed the dislocation, I had my hip joint hastily put back in place with pins. Long story short.....I lost two inches of growth in my right leg during the time of dislocation and had developed scoliosis and other fun joint diseases. Fast forward thirty five years....and years of deterioration, bad limp, pain and arthritic joint disease....I learned of Dr. Greg Montalbano and decided to finally have my hip replaced. It was by far the best decision I have ever made. Dr. Greg calmed my fears, answered all my questions, and after surgery, not only was I pain free....but as an added bonus...my legs were even and I no longer had a limp. It was like winning the lottery. Dr. Montalbano is a caring, wonderful surgeon who has hands of gold. If you are reading this and are contemplating having hip replacement....I would advise you to run (wishful thinking)...not walk and have this truly life changing experience.....To be painfree...ying and yang...is only something shared by other joint disease patients who understand the agony of bone on bone torture. Last year I needed my left hip replaced, and I again enlisted Dr. Montalbano's help. He has always been there to help whenever I called or had a question or concern, and his service and staff are the best I have ever encountered. He is like family now and has given me my life back. I am grateful to Dr. Greg for his kindness, professionalism and skills....and sing his praises wherever I go. Sincerely, Elaine B. |

Bad inguinal hernia repair. Trust your instincts and go somewhere else. Like a vet...., Feb 1, 2012 He has never made a mistake in his life. But I have had three more surgeries trying to fix what he did to me. I will never get those years of my life back. Go somewhere else. I kept going back, thinking he was trying to help me. He was just trying to prevent a lawsuit and tell me it was in my head. |

judgemental/egotistical/condescending attitude/know it all..., Jan 4, 2012 Unfriendly staff. Doctor doesn't listen completely to what you're saying She's quick to make a diagnosis before listening completely to what you have to say and before test results are back unwilling to admit when she's made a mistake |

EXCEEDINGLY GIFTED, PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONABLE - ..., Dec 30, 2011 I have been a patient of Dr. Rutstein's for over a year and find him to be a GREAT doctor, exceedingly gifted in his field. He is EXTREMELY knowledgeable when it comes to managing complicated cases (i.e. multiple disorders, disorders in addition to other medical conditions). He is incredibly educated in regards to medications AND their side effects. He has no problems in answering any questions or addressing any concerns you may have. If a particular side effect is a concern for you (i.e. weight gain, drowsiness) he does his best to find alternatives. He is very personable, which is rare, as generally psychiatrists tend to be very clinical. He spends a good amount of time with you, never making you feel rushed. He listens, asks questions, and asks your thoughts on things before he gives you his take. In my experience, he is not just concerned about making an illness or situation manageable, but in truly improving a patient's quality of life. His staff is friendly and very helpful. You can definitely tell both Dr. Rutstein and his staff enjoy what they do. I happily recommend him to anyone looking. |
