I have known Dr Raya for over 20 years. For most of those he has been my Primary care doc. I also had experience with him on a professional level. He has always been accommodating (gets you in timely if you are ill, etc). He not only listens to information and questions I or my husband have had, but even on the spot looks up information. After reading the negative comments, I need to say neither my husband nor I have ever been treated poorly. The occasionally there is new office staff but there has never been tension among the staff noted during my visits. I highly recommend Dr. Raya.

This doctor is mean as a snake! He was not very friendly or helpful and seemed bothered by the questions I would ask him. I would not recommend this doctor if you are looking for someone who has a good bedside manner. The office staff was on edge with each visit and the tension could be cut with a knife. Not only was he not kind to me but he was rude to his office staff as well.

Frequent answer to questions is "that is not my field". Didn't or wouldn't answer questions and was laughed at when he thought my questions were not important. Waste of my time and had to go to another doctor to have my questions answered. Would not visit this dr again.

Dr. Raya is very thorough in examining a patient for not only current health issues, but for potential problems. He was able to pin point the cause of my health condition.Recently, I had a sickness over a weekend and needed to get medicine. I called his office on a Saturday afternoon and Dr. Raya answered his phone. He called me in the prescription that was needed within an hour. My experience with Doctors, it is very unlikely that most MD's would pickup the phone on a Saturday. Most would wait until Monday to call you back.
