I have been a longtime patient of dr wertheim who happened to retire I was very pleased with Dr Raines. He showed the same concern, compassion and knowledge that other drs provided for the past 20 yrs. Thank you Dr Raines

Very efficient.Thought of every detail. I can’t say I’ve had many surgeries, but this one Is especially memorable because of the level of involvement, Dr. Raine’s team had in every level of my care. Every aspect of this procedure was thought out from Pre-Op questions, suggestions and preparation for you before and after you go home to answers to what equipment you really need for home. Dr. Raine’s team gave clear verbal directions and written information to refer quite easy to understand . That speaks to years of communication and coordination among professional people who know what pre and post care and well being should be like. Thanks, Dr. Raines, for your no nonsense highly professional mannerisms and your well oiled team that knows how to make sure all patients are highly regarded for their care and comfort from pre- op to post care. Awesome Team!!!!!

Dr. Raines was really nice and personable and knows his field. Very easy to talk to. I’ve never been to a doctor’s office that was so friendly! Literally everyone from the front desk, imaging room etc. was smiling and pleasant as they did their routines with me. That’s a good sign!

My process for treatment and healing in my hips and knees continue to be observed by people I consider top of the skill set. Each Doctor and staff persons have demonstrated high value competence, professionalism, and compassion. Dr. Raines’s company of staff personnel reflect the greatest measure of his wonderful leadership and medical knowledge. I appreciate them all.
