Dr. Rath is a great surgeon but also a great doctor. He is caring and spends time knowing his patients. Also, he covers you in prayer before surgery.

very poor post op treatment. Did not seem to have a clue as to what kind of boot I should have been wearing to help prevent the pins from dislodging and should have placed staples in the joint to fuse it to keep the hammer toe from coming back like it did. I also developed a blood clot(have had them before so I knew what I was experiencing) He was in total denial. It was unfortunate because the clot grew and required more treatment that was necessary. I cannot recommend this doctor or his staff.

I went to see Dr Rath for a problem with my Achilles and was highly pleased with my experience there. Everyone at the office were very friendly and helpful. Dr Rath was very knowledgeable and will be performing surgery on my Achilles in Oct. or Nov. at a time that will be convenient for me.

Dr Rath is very prompt with his appointments which is very rare these days. He respects your time without sacrificing quality of care. He is a very caring, Christian doctor. His prayer prior to surgery was very much welcome.

Dr. Rath is an excellent surgeon. His expertise and knowledge was most impressive. He prayed with me before surgery. I always felt he was focused on me and my care. And always felt he genuinely cared about me. I would rank him up with the best physicians. Totally will always want him to be my physician.
