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.

just say no.
0/10. do not recommend. And then my sister saw him after I did and he gave her a medication that she has been hooked on ever since. We have long since stopped seeing him; it is unfortunate that he is still trying new things.. I wouldn't want to walk by his office with a 25,000 ft pole.

The entire Raden Wellness center staff helped me recover from depression and pre diabetes. With the peptides, I feel 20 years younger and finally lost weight. Thank you Dr. Shelly + Dr. Don!!

Stay away! After expensive testing he thought my daughter and I may have Lyme disease and recommended we do their iv ozone therapy. After doing it, my mental health symptoms got worse and he completely ghosted me after that! Very irresponsible doctor that ultimately does not care about his patients.

After 6yrs of "treatment" for our son (5-11yrs), we got a second opinion from Lurie's Rheumatology & Neurology departments after zero progress, ADHD, gut issues, Lyme disease , bartonella bacteria, mold poisoning & finally autoimmune encephalopathy "diagnoses", thousands of dollars in tests, many of which were not covered by insurance. Worst of all, years of worry for our son. What a breath of fresh air at Lurie. We submitted every test Raden ever did & were met with "we don't know what that test is for", "I don't know what supplement that is, we will have to look that up", "that is not the right test for autoimmune", & finally, "oh this IS a sensitive test for autoimmune, but the result is normal, so there is no way your son has it." We feel bad for our son, who spent most of 2020 receiving daily injections, a gluten/sugar/dairy free diet & expensive root/bark/leaf extract drops & years thinking something was "wrong"with him. All 100% unnecessary. Not recommended. At all. Stay away.

If you believe a diet of steamed kale, a supply of his wife's expensive and unproven supplements, and Yanni music can cure your child of depression, anxiety or OCD, this is the guy for you.

Gets to the root cause of issues and saved our child from anger, depression, anxiety and incredible pain, which 15+ specialists could not before him! I respect him and have always received respect in return. Never pushes a treatment, but listens to me and together we tackle a treatment plan.

Dr Raden misdiagnosed and mistreated my son for several months with excessive antibiotics for Lyme disease. At Children’s the Dr there, highly respected, called him a “ quack”! It has taken almost a year for my son to get rid of brain fog from these mistreatments! Stay away, only interested in money and his treatments, which are wrong!!!

Don't do it - he's inaccessible, focuses only on your gut and could care less about your head. He passes you off to a PA who suggests all kinds of weird tests and expensive supplements (lime test $300, stool kit through Genova Diagnostics that costs $1700 which the best insurance available won't pay). They have an injection (cash cow) suite where they show clients how to inject themselves with various vitamin cocktails - for $127+ a shot. Office clerks are rude - stay away.

Wasn’t my favorite doctor. Seems to believe everyone has Lyme disease. I got tested for Lyme disease, got the results and was told I was borderline and should take antibiotics. Took the test to another doctor and said it wasn’t Lyme disease at all, the test was negative and I’m prediabetic. Also it took 3 months between each appointment to get back in and the appointment would only last 5 minutes and would leave me with more questions than what I came in with.
