Dr Rathert is a very caring person. He listens when you are asking questions or just telling him something. I have seen many Doctors that keep one foot in the door, so they can get away quickly. This is not Dr. Rathert.

I have been seeing Dr. Rathert since 2016. He is always there for his patients. He takes his time and answers all questions you might have. Some doctors have their foot in the door trying to get out before they even get into the room. Not Dr Rathert. Wonderful person and doctor.

That's the look I got when talking about my meds! This means people here have been over paying for years. Or the doctor is getting a kickback from the pharmaceutical companies. 6$ a pill and up compared to 26 cents a pill I've been paying. I feel sorry for lots of people who have been taken advantage of just because of lack of education in the medical field!

Dr. Rathert is thorough and listens to your concerns. At end of visit he listens intently to any concerns that may not have been covered beforehand. Very knowledgeable.
