I have seen him several times this past year. Rafferty has always asked questions, actually listened to what I had to say, which impressed me. He has a good sense of humor, but he also tries to get to the root of the problem. Does not make me feel uncomfortable, I always feel relaxed talking to him.

Dr. Rafferty is a GREAT physician!! I had to go to him due to a suspected injury and within a few minutes he had me accurately diagnosed. He discovered that I had torn my left rotator cuff. He then referred me to a great surgeon that made the necessary repairs. As it turned out, the tear was beyond what a normal person would have done and the surgeon had to work his own magic to fix it to where it is now. In addition to that diagnosis, Dr. Rafferty ran labs on me and the next visit he shared what he had found in those labs. Though, being a stubborn male of the species, I chose to ignore his strong advice. I am living with MY mistake to this day. Though he tried his best to convince me, I screwed up. Dr. Rafferty did a fantastic job all the way around, was very friendly, professional and most of all, ACCURATE in his diagnosis. His nurse was also very professional and friendly. Thank you Dr. Mike. Hope to see you again.
