Unfortunately my session was a result of first therapies not working as hoped and Dr. Gubens and I discussed next course of approach for my lung cancer.

This was a very good experience. Doctor was totally aware of my cancer background and was able to acknowledge the care I have been receiving at Kaiser.

Excellent dr

Superb in every respect

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to Dr. Gubens. Back in 2021, when I received my initial diagnosis, I faced the unfortunate obstacle of health insurance constraints, which prevented me from seeking his expertise. However, my family rallied together, and we decided to pay for a second opinion. That decision proved to be life-changing.My previous care team had been unable to identify the crucial bio marker I needed, but Dr. Gubens guided us in the right direction. He immediately recognized that they were using an outdated test and recommended the UCSF 500 panel testing. Thanks to his expertise and recommendation, we finally found my ALK bio marker, allowing me to begin the necessary treatment without delay. It truly felt like he was my lifeline during that time.Now, two years later, I am finally able to switch my care to Dr. Gubens, and I am filled with joy. During my most recent visit, my initial impression of him was only reinforced. Dr. Gubens is not only an empathetic and compassionate doctor but also an active and attentive listener. He thoroughly articulated my health history and demonstrated a deep level of care and concern. I was impressed by his thoughtful and engaged approach, and I never felt rushed during the appointment.To find someone so esteemed in their field, yet so down-to-earth and genuinely caring, is a rarity. Dr. Gubens' intelligence and humility shine through, and I am beyond grateful for the positive impact he has had on my life. His expertise has made a significant difference in my journey towards better health, and I am truly fortunate to have him as my healthcare provider.

I am always amazed at how wonderfully attentive, thorough, helpful and caring Dr Gubens is. He always gives me all the time I need to answer my questions and feel well cared for. I recommend him very highly.

Dr Gubens is masterful in setting out findings and their importance to treatment. He listens to my concerns, and works with me to reach the best outcomes.

Patient in listening and unhurried in answering questions.

Dr. Gubens is an exceptional physician- knowledgeable, empathetic, and very personal. I trust his judgment 100%.

Dr gubens is the best!!!!
