I am wheelchair bound and unable to get to the office easily. He took over when my dr retired. His staff scheduled a telehealth for a medication refill. He told me that I know too much about the disease that I have and I should find another dr to teach. A dr who is too full of himself to listen or speak to his patients is NOT someone I want in charge of my care.

The reason I haven't gone back to the practice is that even when making appointments I had to wait a minimum of on hour and a half to 2 hours before being seen. I purposely made an appointment for a Saturday morning at 9 a.m. which is first appointment of the day. When I entered, the entire waiting room was filled as was down the hallway. I asked at the desk how many doctors were in considering they were full, and was told only 1. My time is valuable too and I don't stand for being treated with such disrespect. I told the receptionist to remove my name from the waitlist and I never returned. There are many other doctors to choose from who treat their patients with courtesy and respect.

Please trust the latest reviews. They are accurate. The reason medical costs are so high is because of doctors like this. They are only there for the money. They order too many unnecessary tests. They charge copays when they should not. They bill you after you have already paid in the office, so I learned to save my receipts. Don’t waste your time and money. There are plenty of good doctors out there. Good luck!

I'd give zero stars if I could. It's always over an hour wait, even if you're the first patient. They order anything under the sun just to increase profit margins. Even if you don't necessarily need it, they try to convince you that you do so they can bill your insurance. Every referral is within their network. The Dr. runs tests without telling the patient or clarifying why it was done. When I expressed my dissatisfaction, Dr. Raina said, "I'm 56 years old, I don't have time for unhappy patients. I have people come from Brooklyn to see me, because they love me! I don't need you. You need to find a new Doctor. If you want your script filled next month you need a new office. Goodbye.". That's word for word from a "DOCTOR"! In my opinion? Classic narcissist sprinkled with a lot of judgement and misogyny. Don't expect even a simple discussion or proper care. Please go elsewhere!!!!

Really teriible experience and care. Dr. Raina did not look up from the computer during the entire visit. He did not perform a physical exam at all. He asked a few quick questions, but did not follow up on anything I said. I do not think he was listening. It appears he was interested in seeing me as quickly as possible. He was not interested in me.

I only go to this practice because it’s in a convenient location . But Dr Raina is definitely the worst doctor I have even seen in my life . Whenever I see him I first wait hours, then when he finally shows up , he sits down in front of a computer, doesn’t ask about anything, and just rushes you out. One time I got blood work done for a physical and THEY LOST MY RECORDS . I got blood work for no reason. Such a waste of time, every time I leave this place I get mad. Save yourself the trouble, and just find another doctor because this guy could care less about his patients.

Dr Rainer is the worst doctor I have ever seen in my entire life! The first time I met him, he never introduced himself, just went straight to the computer monitor and read my chart. Wouldn't even face me to talk to me. He barely listened to what I said. Was very rude and in a rush to get me to leave. He prescribed medication without even examining me. Who does that? Every time I went there, all they wanted to do is send you for more tests. He even made a comment once that I had good insurance, so I should come more often. They have a PA named Andrew who is nice and personable, but you are not always guaranteed to get him.

Dr. Raina is always warm and pleasant to speak to. As a matter of fact, I have found myself telling him more than I planned when I scheduled an appointment. He is an excellent listener and a good doctor.
