What Patients Are Saying

Everyone was friendly, professional and respectful. I was made to feel comfortable and confident in the Doctor and her assistant. I feel that I am in good hands with Dr. Rasband.

Great experience overall. Dr. Rasband and her staff helped identify some nasal issues that will soon be corrected. We’ve also taken our kids here and had similarly great experiences.

Great experience! Dr. Rasband was awesome and the staff in the front office and medical staff were all great. After YEARS of sinus issues, diagnosis revealed something much more serious than I was being treated for. Post surgery I feel better than I have in 10 years.
