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.

I think Dr Raia is great, he's always very punctual and friendly. He was happy with my progress with PT and assured me that I'm on the right track for recovery.

Awful experience, won't be back
Terrible experience. He cut me off twice and didn't even give me a chance to explain my injury or history. The whole appointment was a minute or less and he hurried me out with no positive reassurance or potential solution. I won't be back.

Amazing experience with Dr Raia!
My first time seeing Dr Raia and his team. Such an amazing experience. The woman that did my X-ray was very pleasant and friendly, we even discussed her having similar issues I am having and how she dealt with hers! Then the woman that took me back to the room was super nice as well. Next was Dr Raia. Usually Surgeons or Doctors rush you and give 1 option and don't take time to explain things. Dr Raia was the complete opposite of that! He took the time to go over my X-ray and EMG with me, explain the results and what they mean. He also discussed multiple plans of action to address my issues going forward, and did not push surgery. I left this appointment confident in the plan going forward and the knowledge and information that was shared with me. I feel like Dr Raia and his team truly care and want what's in the best interest of me. Thank you SO much Dr Raia!

Horrific Doctor
He spent less than 2 minutes in the room, gave me 2 sheets of paper & said I could order off Amazon. When I asked if the other was a prescription he was already out the door. I went to the desk & told him he hasn't addressed my issues nor answered my questions. He said he did & check out was that way.
