Horrible. I felt like I was treated as a drug seeker for excruciating and debilitating pain/tingling/numbness and loss of mobility. I had an MRI to rule out MS, and he told me I had the beginning stages or I might have fibromyalgia but we needed to watch it for a while and see what happened. I told him I was unable to take care of myself or my toddler son and that I couldn’t feel my hands for the majority of a year, only shooting pains up my arms. He upped my gabapentin & refused tramadol!!!

I was a patient of Dr. Rafanov's for 5 years. My very 1st appointment he googled absence seizures when I told him my diagnosis. It was not until my last appointment that he did a partial neurological work up. He then told me "You most likely have relapsing MS but there is no paoin diagnosing it because there is no treatment." What kind of Neurologist won't diagnose you with something you have that explains all your symptoms because they don't know of a treatment for it? BTW it is treatable.

Very disappointed! The staff is so rude and the doctor showed no interest. Didn’t really help much.

I'll just put it here and leave it up to you. I've been epileptic for the last 7 years and Rafanov, V. my doctor for a moderate amount of them. Now to the point- I was on 3 now 2 diff med & a machine in my chest (from his referral). Now granted a doctor might have a prob w/client & want to stop seeing them (i get that), but you just don't stop filling their prescription on the day their out cause you don't want to see them any more YOUR SUPPOSED TO BE A DOCTOR you couldn't even communicate EVER

My nephew had a 9am appt. So, never having been to this Dr. We arrived 15 min early to find that the address given us by the receptionist was incorrect. We finally found the office(on the same street) but it was quite the task since there is no signage or address on the building at all. When we finally got to the right place it was 9:04 am. My nephew went in and I proceeded to wait outside. After over 2 hours, O went in to find that he had not even been seen yet!! " Because he was late" was all

The office stafff is not professional. Trying to reschedule appointment took half an hour of being on the phone and getting transferred to another. Dr is knowledgeable just his staff needs clean up.

It was such a horrible first-time experience to have to go in there and deal with the unprofessionalism of that office the staff is horrible his wife runs the front desk and she has no I mean no sense of professionalism in customer service she needs to seek a new career because she's very Petty Betty for someone to go in the office and ask one question you get so upset you go and leave them waiting at the front desk for a good 30 to 45 minutes it's terrible customer service
