Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Rude and offensive
Very rude and condescending. More interested in talking than listening. He tells YOU what he thinks you’re doing wrong, not what is actually going on in your life. Seems like a very angry person every time I’m there. I get the impression he’s more interested in getting you out of his office than helping you.

Responsive dr and staff with clear explanation
I saw Dr. Rapa to clarify my repeated fluctuation of TSH. I was able to get an appt within a few days from when I called. He was patient with my questions and gave clear understandable instructions. The office staff, especially Jessica, is extremely responsive with my tests results delivery and administrative needs. I am impressed!

Excellent doctor with very caring staff. Dr. Rapa has been my primary care physician and endocrinologist for five years from my diagnosis of type two diabetes. He has been helpful in guiding me through several alternative attempts to lose weight and control my diabetes. I have now successfully managed my diabetes through his help. Highly recommend him, especially for those with similar problems.

I would have left no star if it were an option. He Is condescending in tone. Talks on instead of addressing your question. Office is slow in getting back to you.
