Staff is awesome. We have seen Dr. Raasch several times. I know he is very busy but he always takes the time to explain and answer questions.
Dr. Rausch is kind, has a gentle demeanor. Explains things well.
Very well done.
Dr. Raasch explained my options, if I went with surgery what to expect and told me to think about them and decide which way I want to go.I liked that he didn't rush me to make a decision at that time. This was greatly appreciated. After thinking about the options and feeling comfortable with him, I have decided to go with the surgery. Everyone was very nice and good explaining what to expect.
Great communication between staff and physicians.
No, never had/have a issue with sports med, beed a patient with dr Raasch since 1992, he always puts the best of both what needs to b done n my personalissues n always come out good, even thou it like a old car, fix 1 tging n a couole new issues pop up n it not on there side that causes it, ,IM ALMOST LIKE A CRASH DUMMY LOL , BUT ALWATS THE BEST THING DONE TOWARDS ME. BIG THANK YOU!!!
It would be helpful for those accompanying provider to identify themselves or the provider to introduce them. An unknown female came into the examination room with the doctor and stood in the corner. I had no idea who she was. I asked her who she was to give her that opportunity and she gave me her name but not her role (resident, medical student, nurse, medical assistant?). The doctor didn't say anything. Not until the doctor left did she tell me she was a nurse. Both the nurse and the doctor were pleasant and helpful to explain to me the procedure and I have confidence that I chose the right provider to perform my surgery. I have only good things to say about them :-) I just believe that patients should have the right to know who is in the room.
Dr. Raasch explained every very well and gave me options for my treatment.
Overall excellent health care experience.
The doctor is extremely knowledgeable and showed care and concern for me. He answered my questions and we had an authentic conversation about my shoulder. I trust him and am glad he is helping me. I have already referred him and will continue.
Dr. Raasch was very informative.
