Avoid this Doctor by all means...My wife & I chose doctor David Lubetkin to be her OB-GYN for our first baby. He delivered our baby in January of this year. My wife had a lot of complications that he was aware of. Her 6 week postpartum appointment on February 23rd. This appointment was scheduled right after she gave birth. My wife started to feel severe pain in her breast a day before the appointment, and we called doctor Lubetkin to let him know and he said it's probably mastitis (infection in the breast), prescribed her antibiotics and advised to still come to her postpartum appointment the next day.
We arrived at the appointment on time, we were asked to be seated after completing the check in process with the receptionist. A few minutes later, a nurse called my wife's name from across the room, and loudly announced that my wife has COVID symptoms and that the doctor is refusing to see her. We explained to the nurse that my wife does not have any COVID symptoms and that she had tested negative prior. We also stated that doctor Lubetkin was aware of her symptoms and asked her to keep her appointment as scheduled. We also explained that she cannot announce this publicly in front of everyone for privacy reasons. The nurse apologized and asked us to come inside to see the doctor. Usually there is a routine check up every time we visit the doctor such as taking blood pressure, weight, urine sample, but this time none of that took place. The nurse showed us to the room and walked out without even instructing my wife to change or anything which we found to be odd.
After a few minutes, Doctor Lubetkin storms in the room alone (which is never the case, there is always a nurse accompanying him) and while slamming the door very aggressively he shouts and his first words , in a manner unfit for a medical setting " you're not even undressed?".... Dr. Lubetkin approached my wife in a hostile manner, stood right in front of her face(less than 1 foot away) and screamed "you cannot do this to my medical team! get undressed right now!" My wife and I were in complete shock. She instantly began to cry and asked him "why are you talking to me like this?" I was standing right next to my wife and I told the doctor that he can't act this way, but he ignored me completely and then stormed out of the room right after throwing something on the counter. I followed him to tell him what he is doing is wrong and unethical. He did not bother to respond or apologize which made me resort to calling 911. The police arrived and the officer came in and investigated the incident and reported everything. My wife has been going through so much postpartum and after seeing this behavior from the doctor that delivered her baby she was crying nonstop and hyperventilating. This doctor's outrageous and hostile behavior made us feel very unsafe and uncomfortable. This is not someone who has empathy towards his recovering patients. My wife is very affected by Doctor Lubetkin's recent behavior, which has caused so much emotional distress on top of all the stuff she has to deal with in postpartum.We left the doctor's office without being examined for my wife's complication or for her postpartum check up.
Again, I am writing this to let everyone know of our extremely negative experience with Doctor David Lubetkin, OB-GYN of Boca Midwifery. This incident is still unbelievable and we can not grasp what happened till this day. I would not recommend this doctor to anyone!! read more
