I was a bit disappointed in Dr Rader. I truly thought he would have at least looked at my foot. He spent a total of 2 monu3tes and i was dismissed. He looked over a couple papers and said come bk in 4 weeks! I seriously dont think that was professional.
I expected more than 2 minutes of his time after sitting in the room for approximately 20 minutes. I typically do not rate Drs but this was unexceptible.

Dr. Rader pursued his undergraduate degree at Wabash College, where he also played basketball. Dr. Rader graduated with honors from the Howard University College of Medicine. He continued his medical training at the University of Miami orthopedic surgery residency program. Dr. Rader’s love of sports led him to further specialize his training by doing a sports medicine fellowship at the University of Cincinnati, where he worked with the Cincinnati Bengals of the NFL.
Originally from Chicago, Dr. Rader realized he wanted to work in a warmer climate after living in Miami for his orthopedic residency, and North Carolina definitely fit the bill. Dr. Rader is married to his lovely wife, Dr. Rachel Rader. They have three children, Carrie, Dane, and Rhea. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his family, playing golf, traveling, and listening to music. Dr. Rader is an active member of his church where he serves as an usher.
