Patient Reviews
Jun 28, 2022
Doctor Raff was amazing and so patient, professional, kind, and funny. Yes, humor helps when your kid needs surgery and you’re a scared parent. He is very knowledgeable and I trusted his guidance and he did not let us down. It was a blessing to have found him. The cryoablation is an amazing procedure to manage pain for kids who need the NUSS procedure and Dr Raff is an expert at the procedure. My son had the procedure done, had the bar in for 3 years and had the outpatient procedure for bar removal all with minimal pain and minimal pain medication was needed. From start to finish Dr Raff made us comfortable and really listened. He is the best!! So very thankful we found him.
