Drs. Rubinstein & Ducoff, Inc.

I have been a patient with Drs. Rubinstein & Ducoff for over 10 years. I usually go in for 2 cleaning per year. Each appointment I have had has been timely and professional. I have never been pressured into any services that were not needed. The doctors are extremely personable and thorough. I have had several different hygienist and have great experiences will all of them. This office uses all of the most modern dental equipment and is constantly upgrading for their patients.

This is a terrific dental practice. I highly recommend them. I have been a patient for over 36 years. If there was room on here– I would give them 6 stars! They have a wonderful, friendly and talented staff. All of the dentists are caring and highly skilled! You cannot go wrong here!

I had to double check to make sure I was reviewing the right place after reading the other reviews because my experience was the complete opposite. I’d been hoofing it to my MA dentist because I was too lazy to switch, but in early 2012, I decided to stop being so lazy and find a local RI dentist. By perusing reviews and looking at dentists in-​network for my insurance, I stumbled upon Drs. Rubinstein & Ducoff. Making the appointments for me and hubby was easy enough, though I had to go several months out. Not too much of an issue, because I know that is how the cookie crumbles with getting into a dental practice given that most patients are established and schedule their appointments six months out.
Hubby went before me and had an awful experience. They could not verify his insurance, and he was treated like a criminal. He finally said that he would pay the paltry bill and look into the insurance situation. The hygienist was okay for him, but nothing to write home about. The kicker was when Dr. Mahra Rubinstein insisted on examining him in the middle of the cleaning because she needed to leave. O-​kay. I wrote it off as him exaggerating, and went to my appointment with high hopes. Worry not, they were soon dashed. The front desk/​reception women were miserable. So rude and completely unprofessional. The hygienist was fine, but she was pretty much entirely silent and not personable. Dr. Mahra Rubinstein again was working at breakneck speed to examine me to she could leave. Unpleasant experience all-​around. The kicker was when I called to inquire about refunding the credit balance on my husband’s account because of course the insurance coverage was verified. The woman indicated it would just remain and they would discuss at his next appointment. Ha! They clearly missed the memo that there would be no second appointment for either of us. I’ve since found another dentist in East Providence who is wonderful and rivals my MA dentist. Beware of Dr. Rubinstein and Ducoff. The other dentists might be better, however, the front desk/​reception women were so awful that I’ll never find out.

Relatively new to RI, I found my way to these great folks via Unilocal.All of the staff were extremely courteous, starting with the woman who answered the phone and scheduled my appointment. Joyce, who did my cleaning, was outstanding, quick, fun, and explained each procedure that took place. You might think, «Hey, it’s a cleaning. What’s there to explain?» She explained the differences between gum disease and receding gums, why she was doing certain things and what she was looking for. Maybe it’s just me… I like info, so I thought it was cool. She was never pushy about products/​procedures, which I also thought was great. Other people I’ve been to remind me of going to a car dealership. I saw Dr. Ducoff at the end and he was incredibly nice, affable, funny, and seemed interested in getting to know me, rather than breezing in and out.
Overall, going to the dentist couldn’t have been better. Everyone was kind, looked like they enjoyed working there, and seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me. I think they had a nice balance of being professional and friendly. Very mom and pop, small town kind of feel. I’d highly recommend them to anyone.

Coming from a horrible dental experience getting my braces along with two wisdom teeth removals I expected the worse from almost all dental practices. Almost 5 years later of teeth neglect I finally had dental insurance and decided to take my chances again of maintaining some pearly whites.
All the staff here are quite professional and though it took a week or so for my first scheduled appointment it was well worth it. I’m still coming here for over 2 years now for my 6 month check ups. The place is nice and cozy located in East Side Providence and has a private lot but ample street parking available. I opt for early morning appointments and never had a problem.
I had three different hygienists and both of them gave my teeth a thorough cleaning with very little pain. Though if I had a preference I like to stick to my primary one who is always a welcome cause she gives me extra Listerine to rinse with. Coffee stains and plaque completely cleaned out each time.
With relatively painless teeth cleaning I opted to get my remaining two wisdom teeth taken out which had broken out of my gums and caused me great pain as they continued to grow. I opted for the quick procedure offered here and I believe it was Dr. Rubinstein who worked his magic. Four quick shots of Novocaine and one pick later, both two wisdom teeth popped right out in less than 10 minutes. Again completely painless and I was able to go to work afterwards though with a mouth of gauze.
Great staff to work with and friendly phone and email reminders makes this dental office tops. Definitely a far cry from my early experience and I can’t imagine changing dentists now. I’m definitely glad to make this now part of my routine checkups along with my doctor’s. Dental insurance definitely helps and through my job changes they haven’t had a problem with taking Bluecross Blue shield or Delta Dental which I have now.

I hadn’t been to the dentist in 2.5 years, because I changed jobs and no longer have dental insurance. I called around all the East Side dental practices to find someone accepting new patients and an office that offers the safer digital x-​rays.
For $ 255, new patients get a full-​set of digital x-​rays (18 images!), a cleaning and exam. This was the best price that I came across.
Everyone at the office was super-​nice and I was in and out in under an hour.
Best of all, no cavities! :)
