Dr. Erin Rafferty, MD

My daughter has rare and severe neurological issues that have steadily shown themselves in the last 4 years. Dr. Rafferty never dismissed even the smallest unexplainable symptom. We were sent to a CHKD specialist which we still see and Dr. Rafferty is facilitating communication and referrals with major US hospitals and anesthesiologists. One of my child's disorders is so rare no CHKD patient has ever had it. It was diagnosed within CHKD in 2 months verses the normal 2-5 years. That is thanks to Dr. Rafferty taking it seriously from the smallest early symptom that could have been anything. I have no idea why someone left a negative review, but Dr. Rafferty takes time with patients, listens and will tell you if she isn't the one to address it and will send you to a specialist. I am a difficult and unyielding parent who has worked with Dr. Rafferty over the years and she's among the best physicians we've seen from CHKD to Duke to Mayo Clinic to the Cleveland Clinic.

I am shocked reading this negative review on here about Dr. Rafferty. She genuinely cares about her patients. I am not an easy parent to deal with and she has never been disrespectful in any way. After cycling through many providers, we came across her and never looked back. If you are looking for a doctor for your child who doesn’t just treat you like a number, look no further!
