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.

The Best Dr. You Can Ask For!
Dr RAYNER has treated my husband and I for 15 years. We are now so thankful for him and his referral to Dr. Watts who placed a pacemaker in my husband. Dr RAYNER is up to date on the newest of treatments and has taken outstanding care of us and many of our friends. I can’t ask for better care.

Dr. Rayner is very knowledgeable and professional. He answered all of my questions when he treated my mother and made frequent visits to her when she was in the hospital after a heart procedure. We felt he kept on top of her situation and truly cared about the quality of her care. I strongly recommend him.

Chris in Merritt Island, FL – Feb 25, 2016
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Rayner?
Dr.Raynor attended my father at CCH ICU after complications following a hip replacement. He kept asking me questions about dad's medical history that he could have answered from reading dad's file. I confirmed with ICU nurse that the info was in file. Not impressed that he apparently didn't bother to read it, but was making medical decisions about Dad. Also rather sarcastic.
