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.

Very Disappointed
I thought that Dr. Raso was a caring, compassionate doctor but now my mind has changed. I repeately asked for a call back regarding my on going problem with diverticulitis. I had a 6 month CAT scan done to compare to the one done 6 months ago. I never received a call, I had to call the office and his receptionist told me the result. I said I would like to talk to him directly and she told me that he won't call me back. Well, that was true. I guess my health and I are not important enough for him to call me. I found a sugeron on my own and will go see him for a follow up

Dr Rasso is great, however front desk is nasty
The girl at the front desk that also calls to confirm your appointments is VERY NASTY. I have felt with her on a few different occasions and it never ends good.

My mom was referred to Dr Raso from her primary doctor. She was see on a last minute basis . The staff fit her in at the end of the day even though she had never been see by Dr Raso before. Based on initial report of a abdominal CT Scan ,that had been ordered by her primary, Dr Raso took the time at the end of the day to do a thorough exam and order additional testing. He explained in detail, so my mom could completely understand what was going on and what would need to happen based on follow up testing. He personally recommended surgeons that he thought were most capable to perform the anticipated surgery. Once follow up testing was completed he let us know the results immediately. I would highly recommend Dr Raso

Dr Raso is one of the finest doctors I have had the pleasure to meet. As a nurse case manager, I have worked with many doctors in my years as a nurse. Doctor Raso, is extremely knowledgeable, about his specialty in Gastroentrrology, but also in internal medicine. He explained the disease process in laymens terms and also the course of treatment. As a patient and a medical professional of many years I highly recommend this fine physician.

Previous patient and still took almost two weeks for an appointment. Dr. Raso was very knowledgeable, courteous, took the time to answer all of my questions. However his office staff, specifically "Linda" the office manager, was extremely rude, took it upon herself to answer medical related questions for a serious condition and would not relay any messages to Dr. Raso or his physician's assistant without an argument. Sad I had to leave his care due to office staff and poor scheduling.
