In patients' words

"Dr. Rae is a kind, compassionate, caring person who listens to me, takes my thoughts into consideration."

Healthgrades (Dr. Emily Rae)

"Doesn’t listen to patients concerns. Has his nurse follow up more than he does. Discontinues patients if you address concerns about what you’re being prescribed."

Healthgrades (Dr. Barry Irons)

"Easily the worst physician I've ever encountered in my life."

WebMD (Dr. Laurie Polubinsky)

"Without the continued guidance, support and help over a two decade battle with many different issues, I am the most stable I've ever been."

Healthgrades (Dr. David Metzler)
