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.

Was in severe pain for several weeks and tried several Dr.'s to no avail. Dr. Colin Harris sent me for an MRI and sent me to see Dr. Raab. At that time, I didn't realize how serious it is to have a tumor in between two vertebrae on my spine. Dr Raab removed the tumor and I never had a problem since. My back is like brand new. Thank you Dr. Raab!

Went to Dr. Raab for a second opinion on my daughter's hangman fracture in her neck from a mva. He was amazing. He spent so much time with us, explaining everything in detail and in a way we understood. He is conservative in his treatment method - not pushing surgery - and he was funny and very calming. Highly recommend

No words can articulate the professionalism and concern expressed by Dr. Raab, Dr. Haber, and the entire staff as I experienced excruciating back pain. From the time I arrived ( a wheelchair was needed since I couldn’t walk) until the time I had to get back into the car to leave, everyone seemed to be on a personal mission to make me as comfortable as possible. By everyone, I am including the reception area, billing, scheduling, PT, and anyone else employed by this practice. EVERYONE wanted me to have pain relief. The lengths that every single team member went through to make me as comfortable as possible are above and beyond anything I’ve ever experienced. Knowing that people genuinely care is as much a part of the healing process as the treatment itself. I would recommend this team without the slightest bit of hesitation!

I recently took my mother to see Dr. Raab. She is 92 and has been diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia. Dr. Raab is kind, thoughtful and caring. Both my Mom and I are relieved he will be performing her surgery. His staff is wonderful. His surgery scheduler, Teagean went above and beyond to get everything set up in preparation of my Mom’s surgery. I am so grateful for all she has done, which was quite a challenge in this pandemic.

Dr. Raab is truly the type of individual and physician that I seek. Caring and empathetic, patient and compassionate. An excellent communicator. I recently visited Dr. Raab regarding chronic back pain and he patiently and reviewed my results with me explaining my condition in terms that resonated with me and then developed a treatment plan that has provided me with relief. A surgeon yes, but never felt that I was meeting with a surgeon. The treatment plan did not involve surgery.

For over eight months I was housebound and on able to walk. Dr. Raab was an answer to prayer! After my spine surgery I can now walk, drive, work, shop, and do pretty much anything else I need to do! Thank you Dr Raab!

I have been a patient at North Jersey Spine since 2009, after a MVA. Latest surgery being on 11-17. Dr Raab explains everything in depth. Staff is great, when I call I always get an answer within a short period of time.
