I always have a wonderful experience at Dr. Raines’ office. The customer service at the front desk is very pleasant and professional. The wait is minimal. Dr. Raines is the best; excellent bedside manner, willing to listen and offer the best alternative. I love that he is willing to pour knowledge into young persons on his staff. I highly recommend him.

Excellent, best visit I have had in my many years of resurgens. Thanks, Dr. Raines, it was so smooth, the best injection, one word. Painless
