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.

I visited dr Rakowski, I left with more doubt than comfort. the minute I waled in the diagnosis was provided so quickly left like he's not into providing a proper diagnosis for my health, rather going after my insurance to ensure running more than enough tests and biopsies than what is needed. I visited another dr and I received a more proper health diagnosis that is accurate and does not need any of what Rakowski requested.

Commerce over human
I had a troubling experience with Dr. Joseph A. Rakowski. During my consultation, I felt that my diagnosis was rushed and inaccurate. The proposed treatment plan included unnecessary procedures, which I later learned were not required after seeking a second opinion.

Egotistical
Don't see Dr. Rakowski if you want to be heard. He did not read up on my medical history or give me a chance to speak during our appointment. Warning: Somethings he said go against the latest research on Endometriosis! I left feeling talked down to and belittled. He lost a patient today.

He and his staff are amazing. #1 surgeon on this planet! He keeps you calm during the scariest of times. Trust his plan of action even when you have doubt. He knows what he is doing and why he is doing it! Staying calm and stress-free is one of the best medicines for any cancer and he knows this and uses it in his practice as well as his demeanor. You are in good hands. ??
