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.

Breast Cancer Oncologist
Dr. Raab was recommended to me by a research colleague. I got several opinions when diagnosed with Breast Cancer. When I went to see Dr. Raab she knew the latest research in the field and her attention to detail comforted me. I knew then she was the Dr. I trusted with my case. It was one of the best decisions of my life. Dr. Raab is a phenomenal Oncologist. She always takes time to explain options and data. She is extremely patient. She will work with you at every turn during the process and adjust your treatment course if needed as your side effects and hormones change. I've been in her care for 3 years. I had a complicated case and she came up with the right treatment plan for me. Breast cancer is a long road. A lot of maintenance, scans, and medications following treatment. It is not always a linear road. Dr. Raab has supported me at every turn. I am so grateful to have her as my Oncologist.

Very calming, gentle and compassionate
From first learning I had cancer, Dr Raab's plan and demeanor made me feel positive. She has now been my doctor for almost 5 years and I couldn't have chosen better. She is so smart and never forgets anything we've discussed. She is a shining star for her patients. The best.

I had my first visit with Dr. Raab recently. I feel so fortunate to have her as my medical oncologist. Finding a whole new healthcare team after moving from another state is unsettling. Throughout my appointment I felt that Dr. Raab was listening to me carefully, had read thoroughly my medical records from my previous physicians, and was highly competent. She put me at ease right away with her warm and caring spirit.

Absolutely the best
I was lucky enough to meet Dr. Raab today, and she more than met my expectations. She spent so much time with me and answered ALL of my questions completely and thoroughly. As a new patient, I feel she took extra time to get to know me as a person and to discuss my recent complicated medical history. She is extremely knowledgeable and gives sound advice confidence, care, and compassion. She is hard to get an appointment with because everyone around wants to see her! She has an excellent reputation, and I am so thankful I got to see her today. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking advice for oncology and/or hematology!

I've seen Dr. Raab since January of 2021 and then a while back in 2016-17. She is caring and kind, a wonderful listener, and is open to what I wanted to do for treatment...even if it's unconventional. I would recommend Dr. Raab to anyone looking for an honest, intelligent and authentic oncologist.

Messino is a very well managed Cancer clinic. Dr. Raab, the assistants, front desk staff and lab techs are all friendly and compassionate. In the past 8 months of care, I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes for labs or doctor appointments. Everyone is caring and detail oriented.

Rachel Raab Rocks!
Cancer is scary, uncomfortable, unpredictable, and sometimes lethal. It's a journey no one wamts to take, yet Dr. Raab helps navigate the way through with kindness, compassion, and a real feel for her patients. She is fantastic about clear and quick communication. You will never leave her office without being fully confident that you are receiving the very best of care. And THAT is a good feeling!

Caring and compassionate Dr.
Most of us prefer to only have to see a doctor once. But when you have cancer that simply is not an option. Dr. Raab is a wonderfully attentive, and interested doctor. She is generous with her time and with your concerns. I highly recommend her. Multiple visits have shown me that she doesn’t change how she will treat you. Go
