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!
I saw Dr. Raney for the first time today and felt he listened well to my complex medical situation and arrived at a logical path forward. He was patient and explained things well. Very professional with a very pleasant bedside manner.

A great doctor.
Dr. Raney performed a partial thyroid removal last year. No issues at all. I have to really look to see a scar. Almost no pain. Did not need painkillers after surgery. This year he performed sinus surgery on 5 of 6 sinus and repaired my septum. No pain and great recovery. I have not been able to breath this good since I was a teenager! My wife no longer needs to wear ear plugs at night as I hardly snore at all now! Highly recommend Dr. Raney.

This Surgeon is the worst form of human possible. He botched my nose to the extent it will cost thousands to repair. Including the facial paralysis after the procedure. DO NOT TRUST HIM

Dr Rance Raney performed my complete thyroidectomy at MHTW hospital. He was so thorough and did an amazing job. The office staff was professional, caring, and well organized. I highly recommend Dr Rainey and his team.

Due to the rudeness and unprofessionalism of Dr Raney’s clinic supervisor, Ana Sampora, today, we will no longer go to Dr. Raney. Ana Samparo was overly assertive to me and my 86 year old mother, who was having breathing issues when wearing a mask at today’s visit. My mother was distraught and having great difficulty breathing, so she couldn’t wear a mask. At one point, Ana barked that my mom had to put on mask. I asked Ana several times to have compassion for my 86 year old mother. But, Ana continued with her assertiveness. I would expect in such a situation that Ana start the conversation, after introduction, with something more in line with “I understand Mrs Anderson that you are having trouble breathing with the mask, but given Covid, we must require you to wear a mask to protect yourself and our staff. Let me look into a telemedicine appointment with Dr Raney or you can reschedule when masks are no longer required.” But no, Ana was demanding and stern! not going back!

My brother had a horrible experience with this doctor. I was there to witness him absent when my brother went to the ER due to a surgery done by Dr Raney. It was horrible and to top it off he told us he would Come see him and took almost a day and he sent his doctor on call. He never showed up and he decided to go on vacation while leaving his own patient in the ER; didn’t have the scruples to check on him knowing he would be going on vacation the next couple of days. Do not recommend him.

Dr. Raney came recommended by a family member, and I would easily recommend him to other family members. He is down-to-earth, very knowledgeable, a great communicator, and I felt absolutely confident that I would receive the utmost care. Just days after a minor surgery with Dr. Raney, and follow-up has been great. I stand by my comments. Very pleased with Dr. Raney and his staff.

Dr. Raney does a GREAT job of explaining medical conditions and telling you exactly what he’s doing! He is incredibly personal and never acts rushed. He acts interested in what he does - of all my specialists he’s the most pleasant and worthwhile to visit.

2 hour wait. Rude staff. Nurse doing procedure caused my nose to pour blood, handed me a kleenex and left the room. Told I needed a Rx for nose, would be called in to pharm. was never called in. Was pushed to have a hearing test that I did not want or need. Was told not to worry, Medicare pays for it. More $$ for them I guess. Dr. Raney is fine, staff needs to get their act together.
