He gave me a 3 min evaluation, negating the longevity and intensity of the pain - prescribed exactly what I told him exacerbated and made the pain worse. 5 practitioners for this injury and I’m still searching for someone to take me serious. Good bye Core.

He was very short and it felt like he was rushing through my appointment I was literally in the room for 2 minutes and done I felt like he could of at least tried.

Top notch! Unfortunately, I've been to many Doctors for many different ailments. Some Doctors are rude or distant and some seem to just want to rush to the next patient. Dr. Raia is, without doubt, one of the best I've seen. In a matter of minutes, he was able to asses my problem. We went over my X-ray and he pointed out where my problem was and explained it's cause. We discussed treatment options and decided on the best for me. I highly recommend Dr. Raia and his staff. Everyone was very professional and courteous and made me feel welcome. Five stars without a doubt!

Rude and gave no effort to provide any type of real help or understanding. Waste of time and money. Was clearly annoyed when I was asking for clarification, I needed him to clarify things because he didn’t go into any details, he just said there’s nothing he can do and to come back in a couple months if it’s still in pain. Frank was in a rush to get me out of there and I now have to see another doctor to figure out what to do for my wrist pain. I’ve had a cyst for months and have been on leave from my job and he tells me to just work through the pain, or go see another doctor who will help me… I’m like why can’t you, that’s why I’m here?
