This was my first visit with Dr. Raines. I knew very quickly that he was someone who I could trust. He didn’t try to just give me a shot and let me go which several doctors in the past have. He was very professional but pleasant at the same time and listened to me when I spoke. This first visit was very refreshing. I look forward to seeing him again.
