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.

Excelente comunicador, great bedside manners, professional and most important good Doctor.

Thorough
She reads the chart, asks questions, and performs all the necessary tests. Before you leave, she makes sure you don’t have any queries

Mental Health Nightmare
After expressing an interest in wanting to pursue eating disorder recovery treatment she immediately presumed that I had an issue with binging as I am overweight and proceeded to discuss weight loss goals and a restrictive diet plan for me. My eating disorder is mainly restriction and not allowing myself to eat. When I tried to relay this to her she said “well you eat, because you are fat, so don’t say you don’t eat”. she continued to talk over me and discuss restrictive methods of weight loss which I was not there for. My appointment was for prescription refills and on the off chance she knew of a center that could assist me in my recovery I mentioned it to her and this was her response. It was an extremely damaging appointment and if I were not in a place in my recovery where I could recognize this as inappropriate behavior it could have severely set me back in my ED recovery.

My experience with Dr Raben so far has been the best I have had since moving to South Florida in 2005. She is thorough, straight to the point and gives you her opinion. Sometimes you may not agree or like it but ... with her you will get a clear answer. The staff are all super friendly and efficient. I love going to see Dr Raben because you get it all done at once, electro, blood, urine, x-rays, vaccines, no need to go somewhere else to do each of the required testing.

Visited for the first time. I take public transportation and was lost so i contacted to let them know i was walking and almost there. Wast late by 20 min to the appointment. When I arrived the front desk person i was on the phone with was very nice, the other person all she cared about was checking me like a factory and had 0 sympathy even when she can physically see i was sweating and very overwhelmed. She was very rude. I voiced my opinion about her attitude and again apologized about being late and how i cant control public transportation and no time did the woman show any sympathy in fact when i was checking out the woman was still rushing me out the door. This place is like a factory.

I went to Dr. Raben for a physical, and mentioned frustration with my weight, despite limiting calories and exercising. She said to my face it was "highly unlikely" that I was counting calories and exercising, dismissing me completely. She proposed a radical diet plan, and when I tried to ask questions she shut me down, said I wasnt going to do it her way, to just forget it. This was all while she was standing with her hand on the door, trying to escape, as if she had better things to do.

This is one of the best office visit experiences I've ever had. In addition to having Saturday hours, the wait time is minimal - no more than 15 minutes. When I had my first complete physical, I got every test I needed within a hour. I find the staff professional and caring, and Dr. Raben gets right to the point, in a caring but efficient manner. I'm very grateful that she was recommended to me by my former HR Director!

Amazing doctor, caring and kind a true physician but unfortunately her staff totally opposite, the office manager Yolanda is the most inhumane, arrogant selfish person not sure why she's holding the office manager position, she's not fit to work with the public. Is a shame that such an amazing caring doctor is working with a rude, arrogant not caring staff. Although the Dr service is great she needs a new staff as with their rude attitude they are making people go away.

Karen Raben is an EXCELLENT doctor but unfortunately she has a INCOMPETENT AND UNQUALIFIED STAFF. Her secretaries don't have a clue how to attend a costumer and they would be better off flipping burgers at burger king! I feel sorry that such an AMAZING physician as dr Karen Raben is backed up by a NASTY AND ARROGANT staff.
