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.

Excellent Communication
Dr. Raya is a phenomenal Doctor whom I trust completely. Dr. Raya truly listens to his patients and explains everything very well and in simple terms. I feel Dr Raya cares about his patients and asks all the necessary questions that are related to the visit. After many hours searching for a Doctor, I’m thankful my search ended with Dr. Raya. I strongly recommend Dr. Raya.

I give Dr. Raya 5 stars in every category. His office staff is another story. There have been many difficulties over the time I've been seeing Dr. Raya concerning things that were not handled properly by the staff. Currently I'm dealing with a prescription issue where they've not sent them in and also not responded to the providing prescription company about the error. My wife thinks I should see another doctor because of the countless mistakes and omissions that have occurred.
