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.

Disengaged Doctor
Dr. Rai was very dismissive when I saw him. He seemed more concerned about leaving the room than he was talking to me as he tried leaving on a few separate occasions only to look annoyed when I had more questions The appointment was incredibly rushed and he spent almost no time talking about the reason I was there and instead just say I should try physical therapy. As stated above, he said I had a muscular issue and should seek to resolve that first, even though I have been diagnosed with degrading and bulging discs for upwards of a year.

Fixed the problem
I had a pinched sciatic nerve with pain so bad I could barely walk. He operated on my back and fixed the problem 100%. I would definitely recommend him.

Missed Diagnosis
My neurosurgeon passed away prior to getting the surgery scheduled and was referred to Dr. Rai. He looked at both MRI’s and couldn’t see the issue, he said it’s a pulled muscle. I guess a pulled muscle don’t heal after 1 1/2 years. My prior surgeon showed it to me on the MRI. I went for a second opinion and they are in the process of scheduling me for surgery. I would not trust his medical skills.
