Excellent! Gave a second opinion for my kidneys which my urologist asked him because the report was unclear to him. No surgery!

I make sure that I see him every year for my mammogram. He discovered my recurrent cancer which was not typical and guided me and my doctors through the next steps. Mine S.

Great experience. This seems to be the go to radiologist in Arlington. My PCP recommended I have him read my scans.

I told Dr. Raphael that I'm a hypochondriac. He brushed it off and said I was doing the right thing to get checked out. I had felt something in my breast. As it turned out it was not cancer. He gave me information and guidance that was hard to get from my other doctor. He was very patient and kind. I make sure he reads mammograms every year. Good hospital too

Dr. Raphael. I left you a message on your voicemail. Your reading of my wife's MRI if her lumbar spine was outstanding. It was clear that you looked into her medical history to provide a clinically relevant report. I work in oversight of health Care and have seen many radiology reports. Your reading was one of the best I've ever seen and considered all of my wife's history which is unusual. Again, I left a message on your voicemail if you want to reach out. We are grateful. Thank you

Dr. Raphael took care of my mother after he diagnosed her with breast cancer. He and his nurse Janice went above and beyond and orchestrated her care after the biopsy. Thank you both!

Just moved to Virginia and was diagnosed by dr. Raphael with breast cancer. He was personally attentive and coordinated all of my further work-up. Thank you Virginia hospital Center and thank you Doctor Raphael

Scariest moment of my life. Dr. Raphael made the moment more than tolerable. He was funny and hopeful and very good bedside manner. he personally guided me through the process and he referred me to dr. Claire Edwards who is an amazing breast surgeon.

Great doctor visit at VHC with Dr. Raphael. Very knowledgable. My urologist recommended him highly to read my CAT scan for my kidneys
