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.

With Dr Rau's continued support for my gastrointestinal problems I dont now what I'd do, he treats me as a respected human being, explains everything in detail and relieves any anixeties I may have. His expertise is exceptional and i have been going to him for almost 10 yrs. He IS the bestdoctor! His staff especially Pricilla is like no other doctors I've ever had the pleasure of meeeting!

Friendly, efficient office staff, caring, compassionate nursing staff. I was an anxious wreck and they were wonderful while they worked to keep me calm. Dr Rau spent time with me also, explaining everything and helping ease my anxiety. I highly recommend this medical practice.
