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 do not recommend this Doctor. She tries to over charge, office is dirty, staff calls in wrong dosage for meds. You really have to check and double check appointments, scripts etc. or you may get the wrong thing. We got different explanations from each office staff as to why we were being charged extra money. The right hand does not know what the left hand is doing. Not professional in our experiences.

I am a caregiver who who works with a slice of the population who depends on a psychiatrist to be able to function. Left msgs because of patient concerns with new meds, and got no response until I called back 2 days later. Told to take the patient to the hospital for evaluation more than once. Have little confidence in this Dr to truly care for the individuals I work with. Been going to Dr Rau for 6 months, will not be back. In my opinion, patient care is poor.

Scheduling: Easy. I called presumably when the office was closed and left a voicemail on a Friday. Was called back on Monday and scheduled an appointment for the same week. Visit: A lot of patients in and out. Scheduled for 9:30am seen almost an hour later. She was very thorough and asked questions and allowed me to ask questions. Great first visit in my opinion.
