I had a 15 minute conversation with Rauta. She ordered blood work. She looked at a mark on my skin was not able to identify on my own. The bill was nearly $1000. Apparently looking at skin for 3 seconds is surgery. And the chatting about general health for the other 14 minutes seemed to justify several hundred dollars more. No. I don't care how long you went to school. She didn't do anything but order blood work that told me nothing, and refer me to the dermatology clinic which I could have done myself. $1000.

Dr. Rauta has been my physician since moving to Bismarck. She always takes the time to explain what my diagnosis is and what I need to do to get better. She escribes right to the pharmacy so no hassles there. I recently thought I broke my ankle, went to see her, x-rays done in her office and read within minutes. No break, wrapped up and sent me on my way. I like that she is a calm and easy to talk with person, I have never felt uncomfortable nor had any problems with Dr. Rauta or her staff.

I needed a new PCP to order annual MRI+sedation for claustrophobia cuz my PCP retired. She ordered the MRI but refused to prescribe the sedation I have been using for 8+/- years and was yelling at me and saying she knows what to give me. Her sedation did not work and the MRI had to be rescheduled. The MRI/hospital called Rautaand so did I, to ask for the sedation I usually use&she refused, instead giving me an unnecessary lgr dose of what she wants. Her nurse called me and said to find a new PCP
