In patients' words
"I have only three words to summarize Dr. Joshua Rubin and UCSD Gastroenterology in general: Incompetent, careless, and irresponsible."
— LocalityBiz (User Review)"He knows what he is talking about. He genuinely cares about his patients and about having individualized care. He listens to my concerns and answers all of my questions with an incredible patience."
— Vitals (Patient review of Dr. William Sandborn)"Although he doesn’t have a great bedside manner, he is a genius when it comes to treating Crohn’s Disease. He saved my life, and several of my friends that I have referred."
