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.

Quickly understood and helped my pain!
Dr Rashbaum was recommended by another doctor because of my SI joint pain. He immediately knew he could help and he did. I suffered for a year and all other orthopedic docs offered me were steroid injections that only lasted a couple of weeks. He performed a rhyzotomy and I have been pain free for over 7 years now. What a blessing!

Dr. Ralph Rashbaum is a stellar physician who truly practices the art of medicine and healing. I brought my wife Gaye to him ten years ago. She was nearly in a wheelchair. She could barley walk of function due to two failed spine surgeries. He put her on a program and she always did what he asked of her. He found an un-diagnosed problem other doctors had missed. He also implanted a spinal cord stimulator. She followed his regiment to the letter, and that, and his surgical skills restored her life. Ten years later she still has freedom from most pain and lives a full life. If you're looking for a doctor to coddle you, don't go to Ralph Rashbaum. If you're looking for a Doctor to BS and get meds from, do not go to Ralph Rashbaum. But if you are looking for a doctor to heal you, and you are willing to put in as much effort as he will, and not waste his precious time...Then by all means, Go to Dr. Ralph P. Rashbaum!

I find Dr. Rashbaum kind, caring, knowledgeable and personable. He spent plenty of time with me and was on time..so rare these days. He did not want to inject me, nor do any procedures (unlike the doc at Ortho texas) On of the best MDs. Wish I had found him years earlier!

This doctor was very rude. Never was greeted when he walked in the door and was not remotely interested in the pain that I was in. He seemed that he was in a rush and didn't want to properly diagnose what my pain problem was. Waste of time!

Drove ten hour round trip to argue over being crushed by a pool table or hit violently by a pool table. Then proceeds to argue about the report the referring doctor wrote up! The terminology doesn't matter! I matter and my pain matters! Total waste of time and money and know nothing more from my visit. I see why he has the low ratings. Wished I would have checked out his reviews before my colossal waste of time.
