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.

Dr. Rains is one of the best doctors I've ever been to! I've never written a physician review, but he is such a fantastic doctor, I felt it was my duty to do so. He is extremely knowledgeable and does a great job informing you about what is going on with your skin and he does it with a smile on his face. Every time I've been in to his office he has treated me with kindness, compassion, and makes me feel heard and taken care of. In today's world where there is so much negativity, he is a breath of fresh air. I'm so grateful for him and will be a forever patient. Thank you Dr. Rains!!

New Patient in Austin, TX – May 16, 2018
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Rains?
Dr. Rains is the best doctor I have ever encountered in the medical profession. He is without doubt the standard for the medical profession and the type of doctor every medical professional / healer should aspire to be. As a 64 yo male, I have seen a lot of doctors for various issues including general practitioners to all kinds of specialists as a result of a 30 yr career in the military. His communication skills are superior to any doctor I've encountered in the medical profession

I recommend this doctor to everyone. With us, he did all he could to treat us properly and to solve our problem. He has an extensive knowledge in his field. He is helpful. He solved in two weeks a problem that we have had for two years. The woman at the front desk is also incredibly nice. The best I have seen so far.
