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.

Great physician!
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Ray-burn for almost 15 years, beginning with CVA while they were still at Baptist Mount Clair and then with his move to CVS & St.Vincent. Since his move, the wait times have been been significantly reduced. Dr. Rayburn has always been extremely patient friendly. His staff is also friendly & efficient. Dr. Rayburn’s exams are thorough, you never feel rushed and he allows plenty of time for any questions you might have. On my last visit (10-16-24), I was given a Patient Care Summary for the 1st which I find very helpful for both myself & my wife.

Excellent Doctor
It is always a pleasure to see Dr Rayburn! He is knowledgeable about treating my pulmonary hypertension and has a great manner with his patients. He always makes me feel that he understands my problem and only wants the best for me. He treats me like a person instead of a random patient number.

Dr. Rayburn has treated my acute combined heart failure/cardiomyopathy due to viral infection (result of covid) for a little over a year. My 1st cardiologist gave me little to no hope of my heart recovering. Now my heart is re-remodeling. I have been given my life back. I thank God for allowing me to find Dr. Rayburn. He is extremely personable, understanding and top tier in the world of invasive cardiology.

I was Dr Rayburn’s patient for 4 years. I found him extremely “rude and arrogant!” He doesn’t like to be questioned at all. He assumes his patients are ignorant. He actually walked out on me while I was asking him questions. If you are looking for a cardiologist with compassion, and who answers your questions, you need to look elsewhere. I felt I was talking to a robot!! He is very clinical and lacks the ability to communicate! I will not return to his practice. He lacks humility!
