She explained to me that she had no availability for a few days however if I walked in,I would not be turned away and the doctor would see me. After I waited for an hour or so to be squeezed in (VERY WORTH THE WAIT),I was seen by Dr. McGinty. He was very attentive, knowledgable and I didn't feel rushed. He actually listened to me and gave his recommendation on what specialist would be best for me going forward. I was given referrals and prescriptions and scheduled to return in the near future. This is one small professional and friendly office. I'm very pleased with this experience and I'd highly recommend MIMC. P.S. Please do not be discouraged by the negative post, some people are just hard to please.I guarantee, if you call or visit,it will be pleasant! THANK ME LATER....smile

They take the time to listen carefully to my concerns, explain options clearly, and make sure I feel comfortable and confident in my treatment plan. I never feel rushed, dismissed, or overlooked which is something that is unfortunately rare in healthcare today. Dr. McMackin and Dustin work seamlessly and truly prioritize patient well-being. Each visit leaves me feeling reassured that my health concerns are being taken seriously and addressed thoughtfully and appropriately. The entire office staff is equally outstanding - always friendly, professional, and welcoming. On top of that, the patient portal is incredibly helpful and efficient, making communication, scheduling, and follow-ups easy and stress-free in today's fast-paced environment. This practice sets the standard for what patient-centered care should look like. I am extremely grateful to have such a knowledgeable, compassionate, and responsive care team and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional healthcare.

**** Update**** I have decided to update this review after…read morethe manager reach out to me to clear up the situation. As I mentioned in my original review it was truly a shocking moment to me that I refused to believe had happened considering how long I have been a patient of NWNP. Northwest Nurse Practitioner Associates to me represented everything that a family practice should embody and that is now missing in the health care system : empathy, compassion, knowledge, detailed-oriented, patience, confidence, trust, passion. I found all of the above qualities visiting Erin every years for the past 7 years and that last encounter (over the phone) with the manager was the complete opposite of what I was accustomed to hence my disbelief. I have the utmost respect for her and what she has built over the years and my decision to update my review is solely based on those 7 years. I do not believe that one incident should erase the consistent positive interactions and great care I have received from NWNP over the years. I want to believe that there was a miscommunication between me and the manager and it was not his intend to make me feel unheard. I appreciate him taking the time to reach out and write an apology email.

And that was true during that time. But something changed significantly as she transitioned to a sort of direct primary care practice and functional medicine practice. The practice seemed more impersonal. For example she tried to direct me away from monitoring my liver scores when I started taking statins. Although she had previously had the position that medications always have risks in promoting alternative medicine considerations and I had told her of my brother's death from non alcoholic cirrhosis due unmonitored prescription of cholesterol medication she tried to talk me out of the monitoring. At one point I had told her I didn't want to die from cirrhosis her reply was that there were worse ways to die.

While I found Dr. Rubin to be fairly knowledgeable, both of my appointments felt rushed and her bedside manner was cold. During my second appointment, as we were discussing my symptoms, she flatly told me I should get tested for Multiple Sclerosis. She gave no further explanation, and her tone and harshness in sharing such an upsetting possible diagnosis was extremely traumatic. I left the office and cried. During my second appointment, she had recommended that I get an L5-S1 nerve block. I made the mistake of not getting a referral written down (she gave me a doctor's name and never block site on a sticky note). Since I started a new job, I was not able to schedule this nerve block until about 8 months later. I then found out that the doctor she referred me to required a referral form. I called Dr. Rubin's office to have one sent (presumably should be in my file); the receptionist consulted with Dr. Rubin and said she would not send it without having a phone conversation ($210) or additional office visit (even more $). Take in mind she does not accept insurance; this is all out of pocket. When I explained I was not financially able to do so, that literally nothing had changed with my symptoms, and that the delay was due to me starting a new job - the receptionist checked with Dr. Rubin again and she would not budge. If this is a concern for my "medical safety", a $210 billable 15-minute phone call is not a diagnostic tool and would not give her any additional information other than what I provided to the receptionist - which is that none of my symptoms had changed. I understand that time has passed, but demanding more money for a referral form that should already be in my file is absolutely ridiculous. At this point, I have spent close to one thousand dollars at IntimMedicine and have gotten 20-25 minutes total of face-time with Dr. Rubin. It honestly feels like a cash-grab. Ppl like myself are desperate to see a good specialist and find better treatments for chronic pain. At this point, I feel that the practice is predatory - they take advantage of ppl's desperation and will not accommodate you at all. I don't care how good you are at what you do, it is an absolute insult to treat ppl this way who seek your help.

Enter Dr. Pabby. I booked a consultation after seeing her highly recommended online, and honestly, I'm so glad I did. She was direct, honest, and most importantly, effective. She walked me through exactly what went wrong, reassured me that it wasn't irreversible, and carefully corrected the issue without making me feel judged or dismissed. When it comes to your face, bedside manner and trust matter and she delivered on both. Yes, it cost a pretty penny, but this experience made one thing crystal clear: now I know who I trust with my face moving forward. The office was spotless, the staff was kind and efficient, and the whole experience felt professional from start to finish. Most importantly, it feels really good to feel confident again. Thanks, Dr. Pabby!
