Dr. Steven Raikin, MD

Dr. Raikin told me upfront how serious this surgery would be. He reassured me that he could help me and he did. I researched for a year and found him and knew he was the one. It's been 14 years since my ankle replacement.

Dr. Raikin treated me as a second-class situation. He wouldn't answer questions unless my husband was there. At one point, when I asked about pain levels after surgery, he told me not 'to be a baby.' I have never been treated worse in a medical situation.He also only gave me a limited supply of blood thinners, and unsurprisingly, I developed a blood clot after my surgery.

I had bunions on both feet. However, the right bunion was very painful so Dr. Raikin performed surgery on that foot first. Note that it was over 15 years ago, but you should see my foot today. You would not ever know I had a bunion. Approximately 10 years later (life got in the way), Dr. Raikin performed the same surgery on my left foot. The recovery time was so remarkable even he commented on it. I was in my Dansko before I went back for my checkup. Late review, but Dr. Raikin is the best at what he does. Thank you, Sir.

Dr. Raikin replaced my ankle over 15 years ago and I am still going strong!! I always thank him in my prayers. He is the most caring and competent doctor. I always recommend him!!

I needed bunion surgery to be redone. I could not engage in my very active lifestyle. I have that back thanks to the care of Dr. RAIKEN and his team. I give my highest recommendation.

Dr. Raikin takes the time to listen and answer your questions.

Dr.Raikin professionalism, experience. Knowledge and personal skills made me comfortable to have my surgery and I was pleased with the outcome and continue recovery.

What a wonderful doctor. Both the results of a difficult ankle replacement operation with such positive results and a great bed side manner. He was highly recommender to us and I would now also highly recommend him to anyone facing ankle surgery.

Dr. Raikin assessed my ankle as having “end stage arthritis” and clearly explained my treatment options. I am fully confident in Dr. Raikin’s described options and outcomes.

Very knowledgeable and very compassionate.

First I want to thank Dr. Raikin for giving me back my quality of life. I had a very messed up foot and ankle situation that required special surgical experience and technique. Both of which Dr. Raikin possessed. Look him up in the top 38 ankle and foot Drs to know in a 2020 article. I really didn't want to go thru what I imagined would be 9 to 12 months of recovery. I even cancelled my first of two surgeries to put them off until the next year. When I did that, a day later I received a call from the Dr explaining why I shouldn't wait to have these procedures. He was very honest and real with me and I thought about what he said for a couple of days. Then I called back his surgical scheduler and set the date just one week later than the original date. I had the best experience and care from Dr Raikin and his crew, plus Jefferson hospital in Philly. He treats his patients with the utmost care and humanity. I hope this helps someone else's decision to see Dr.Steven Raikin

Dr. Raikin conducted a full replacement of my left ankle. Within three months I was playing golf and skied at 11 months. If you do everything he says, you will have zero problems. I highly recommend him and his team.

As an active soon to be 70 year old with an arthritic ankle I was somewhat reluctant to get an ankle replacement. After meeting with Dr. Raikin I decide to take that step. It was a life changing event. Previously unable to walk around the block with my Wife we now go on miles long hikes together. Thanks to Dr. Raikin and his Rothman team.

Dr. Raikin performed my total ankle replacement 17 years ago and I am now 75 and still going strong. Dr. Raikin is the best in the world! The surgery was relatively new when I had mine. I followed his postop instructions exactly…and the result was no pain. I am able to walk distances as far as 5-10 miles with no problem. Dr. Raikin and this surgery were definitely a real blessing and improved my quality of life for the last 17 years.

Dr Raikin was very professional, knowledgeable and informative giving me realistic expectations on all aspects of my procedures. I followed his instructions with after care and couldn't be happier with my results!

Clear explanation of diagnosis and treatment plan. Listened carefully to all questions and provided crisp, clear answers.
