#1 Zuhkova! As a licensed nurse myself, sounds like you were just seeking meds. # 2 a doctor is not allowed to release PHI (personal Health information) to anyone, even a husband or any other relative without a release. It's a HIPAA Law! Read them and learn them! I just took my daughter to this doctor and myself and he is very thorough &professional! My last doctor wouldn't fill prescriptions just like that either. That is showing concern for the patient! Not all lawsuits are won without merit, but good luck!

Dr. Rudman has been my doctor for over 8 years. He is thorough, and knowledgable....and usually accurate in his diagnosis. Anyone who has a problem with him (eg the two one star reviewers) probably are shopping for pain meds. He is not that kind of doctor. He will work as hard as he can to try to find the source of your medical problems. I find that the wait time at his office very reasonable...like most doc offices they sometimes get busy. I have never had a problem scheduling an appointment usually within the same day. His office is very prompt in relaying lab results. I feel very comfortable with him....and I can't say that for most doctors in this area. I give him 5 stars!

Dr. Joel Rudman is a lawsuit waiting to happen. His self interest exceeds his ethical responsibility to his patients. If you are an existing or potential patient of Rudman's with a longstanding prescription medicine you take, think twice about relying on Rudman for a timely renewal or helpful provision of that medicine should you, for example, be called out of town on an emergency or plan a vacation that exceeds a monthly prescription. Rudman prefers to put you at risk of an abrupt withdrawal than to provide a refill for a med that you might have been reliant upon for years and that he himself has provided you in the past. Furthermore he nor his personnel will bother to respond to your queries for help thus there is not even a pretense of an explanation for his negligence--negligence being too mild a word for a licensed doctor who actively chooses to permit a patient to suffer dangerous possibly life-threatening withdrawal from a prescription med upon which he is dependent. While Rudman's disregard of a patient's simple request for a month's prescription is not ethically supportable and thereby is legally actionable, at the same time one does get the impression that Rudman is overly concerned about "liability" but in a way that exceeds his concern about the health of his patients. After my departure for 6 weeks in England, my husband sought the answers I had not been able to get explaining to Rudman's office that lacking a response from them, I had left without the medicine, specifically, could Rudman go ahead and write//call in the needed prescription for me? Unsurprisingly, Rudman's office refused to communicate with my husband without my signed release.(Though in Rudman's file, my husband is of course the acknowledged financial responsible party.) It's not the requirement of the release I protest but the relative importance of a release compared to my need for my medicine. Rudman's office positively hid behind that release like it was a justification for medical neglect. Completely fixated on the release rather than recognizing the genuine medical issue at stake. They didnt have to discuss anything with my husband to be able to resolve the issue.Rudman could have picked up the phone and called me. He had both my cell number and my email , both given in a hand-delivered written request and both regularly checked by me even in England. Not only did he not respond to my increasingly anxious requests but his office gave my husband the run-around rather than explain what was going on and why it was supposed to be okay for Rudman to arbitrarily deny me my medicine. Doctors often believe that the most actionable medical malpractice is the failure to diagnose which results in a permanent injury; however, much more egregious is a doctor's purposeful withholding of a necessary medicine for reasons that have nothing to do with the patient's physical well-being. What possible reason could Rudman have for not responding to my request? At the very least, didnt he have a duty to explain? And to give me the chance and the time to find another doctor? Is it possible that Rudman does not know the consequences of an abrupt cessation of a long-time med? Rudman can't be bothered to answer my questions. So let's let the authority of Florida Medical Licensing find out the answers. And let's let Rudman's med-mal insurer review my experience with their insured. Meanwhile, stay away from Dr. Rudman. It's not worth the risk. You cannot count on him. He does not seem to understand things like the importance of not making abrupt changes to prescribed medicines. He might have the education of a doctor but he does not have a doctor's compassion. I have never before made a complaint about a doctor nor have I ever before had reason to.
