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.

Could not care any less about my situation or finding the solution to my issue. Worst doctor ever. Don’t waste your time

I have been going to Dr. Raffo since 2006. He has performed arthroscopic surgery on my left knee and is now taking care of my right knee, although surgery is not needed yet. He is always friendly and listens and takes time with me. He is a top quality surgeon and a fabulous practitioner. I would highly recommend him.

I have never had a problem getting an appointment. Once in the office, rarely do you wait any period of time. The practice has very good PAs and other staff. Dr. Raffo tried non-invasive procedures first before ordering MRI. He eventually performed surgery that went smoothly and repaired a problem. In addition, the staff at the surgery center were great!!

Such a smart and knowledgable Doctor. Helped me with my knee and shoulder problem. I was impressed that he was not accepting of the radiology report of my MRI. Most of my doctors in the past would never go against the report but he was not convinced of his findings. Very up to date with newest info that comes out and just an overall good guy. Very nice bedside manor and makes you feel very comfortable. Spends a great deal of time explaining options, risks, etc.
