Sharon Rabinovitz, MD

I just found out that she will no longer be practicing and I’m SO sad. She is amazing. Its just tragic that she won’t be seeing patients!

I got a letter today from Dr. R stating she will no longer be working for the practice. My hubby talked to her personally last week and she’s going to work for a college doing research and will no longer be a medical doctor.
I can’t tell you how extremely upsetting this is, especially after the 5 year search I had finally completed when I found her. Decatur needs more docs of her magnitude. If anyone knows of a comparable doctor, please let me know!

My elderly mother has been seeing Dr. Rabinovitz and I have been very impressed with her thoroughness and bedside manner. She seems to be an excellent doctor and I would give HER 5 stars. But the system there is awful. It is very difficult to get through and to talk to someone. You have to leave messages and it can be a while before you hear back from anyone. My mother had an issue and the prescription was not called in as promised. The practice has grown and it is suffering some growing pains I fear. It’s a shame, because she is truly an excellent doctor.

Gotta agree with the ladies, Dr. Rabinovitz is awesome. Both my wife and I see her and we couldn’t be happier. Before I found her, I had fired two other doctors that were your typical, make you wait forever, listen to you for five minutes and then write a prescription.
Dr. Rabinovitz takes the time to listen to you and makes sure that her diagnosis is correct. Her staff is friendly and personable. I really feel like she actually cares about my well being and is thinking about how to give me the best possible care.
I would recommend her to anyone.

I have several pet peeves when it comes to visiting doctors — which is likely why I underutilize them.
These are as follows, in no particular order:
1) I wait for 2 hours on the doctor to see me only to spend 5 minutes in the examination.
2) The doctor seems rushed and unwilling to talk to me
3) I walk away uncertain of what is happening to my blood or other bodily fluids in terms of tests
4) I fall into the black hole of unresponsiveness — meaning I never hear back from them.
I was beyond pleasantly impressed with Dr. Rabinovitz and her staff from the minute I showed up for my annual physical. I showed up 10 minutes early thinking I’d wait for an hour before my name would even be called. To my surprise, my name was called 5 minutes early and the nurse that asked me questions, took my blood, weighed me was awesome. She acted like a human. Meaning she started a conversation with me. She just didn’t ask a lot of cold questions without first getting to know me or my story. Actually we ended up cracking each other up which was a nice way to start a physical since I admit to being a bit on edge about the whole concept.
Next she walked me into my room and again I found myself knowing I’d have to wait at least an hour now… I mean after all how is it possible the doctor would see me on time and actually ahead of schedule? Again, to my surprise the doctor knocked on the door before I even had a chance to get my gown on. She was so fast!
She took the time to talk to me. She asked me very comprehensive questions, explained what she was doing and what she was looking for while she was doing it. Then she walked through all the things that my blood and other fluids were being tested for. She talked to me. It was a completely refreshing and different experience.
If you’re looking for a doctor that is prompt, concerned and willing to spend time talking to you Dr. Sharon Rabinovitz is the one for you. She was amazing and I highly recommend her to anyone.

Much like Courtney, I have to sing the praises of Dr. Rabinovitz.
Having been a patient of a former PA at this practice, I was disheartened when I called one day and found out she was no longer working there. I contemplated looking for a new PCP, but the receptionist told me I could schedule my appointment with the new physician, Dr. Rabinovitz. Apprehensively, I agreed to it.
I am so glad I did. Dr. Rabinovitz is the most attentive medial professional I have ever dealt with (and I have dealt with quite a few). She asks thoughtful questions, and takes time to listen to your questions and concerns. She remembers who I am and bits about my life. Even though I am usually rather freaked out and squeamish when I’m in an exam room, there is always at least a little laughter with Dr. R.
I’ve had experiences where I’ve left a doctor’s appointment feeling embarrassed and almost stupid to a degree, but this hasn’t been the case since becoming a patient of Dr. Rabinovitz. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for a personable, knowledgeable, physician, then this is the doctor for you.
