I’m so thankful for Dr Raines, he’s very professional and an outstanding surgeon. I had a total knee replacement on 10/29/2025. I was so hesitant and nervous about having this surgery but I must admit Dr Raines calmed my fears. He assured me that I would be happy when it’s done and sure enough, I wished I had done it sooner. I researched and found Dr Raines in September and he explained the procedure very thoroughly and told me to call when I’m ready. I fell in the shower because my knee buckled and I literally fell out of the shower and bruised myself pretty bad. I called his office and told them that I was ready to move on with the surgery and I’m so happy that I did! I would recommend Dr Raines 100%

Dr Raines is a consummate professional. Excellent diagnosis of my issues, helped my immediate pain needs, and recommended the correct PT care I needed. In 3 months I went from abject pain to a road to recovery.
