Patient Reviews
Nov 14, 2024
The fact that he took the time to sit down and address my issues, and seemed very concerned for not only mine but my daughters, who came with me to my appointment, well being as well. He didn't ask her if she would come in for a screening, he basically had them make a appointment for her in which I am extremely grateful because she would not have done it on her own. So yes I would definitely recommend Dr. Rainwater to anyone.
