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.

A wonderful, caring doctor. He has helped me coordinate care to others at little cost. Money is not his priority but essentially being there when needed.

Dr Rakosky es una persona especial con un conocimiento profundo de su profesion. Cuando fui a su consulta desesperado, sali reconfortado pues despues de reconocerme exaustivamente me dijo lo que tenia y me lo explico a detalle con paciencia y determinacion. Me fui tranquilo pues me dejo saber lo que tenia y me mostro la cura. El personal de su oficina tambien fue muy dulce, amable y profesional. recomiendo al Dr. Rakofky totalmente.

Dr. Rachofsky and his support staff all of them have a wonderful attention in his office everyone that arrive to his office is treating with love, respect, professionalism and passion. He is a very professional and know ledger doctor. He take care of my family for around 25 years being that kind of doctor (really difficult to find now a days), who explain every thing in details to his patients and support them 200%. For him his profession and care of the people in need is firth and before anything else showing his passion for his patients when he take care of people with and without insurance. I have a really Hight opinion about Dr. Rachofsky as a wonderful human being and as excellent doctor.

My first time going to Dr. Sanford Rakofsky was for an eye exam and Dr. Rakofsky was so nice and explained my exam and answered all my questions. He genuinely cares for his patients. He explained how my constant eye infections and headaches from the pressure in my eyes. I’ve seen many Optometrists/Ophthalmologists for the37 years and he’s the most thorough. Dr Rakofsky and staff is very nice, caring and accommodating they explained the entire procedure honestly and billing is always on point. I’
