Dr.Raise performed surgery on my thumb / wrist . I could not be happier !! He is a great Dr. He's very caring,and always has time to answer any and all my questions .as I had many pre-op and post-op. He explained everything and answered all my concerns. His assistant Laurie is great !! Always friendly and personable . The nice young man ( Luke ) that fits you with your cast & splints was very kind. I had questions about a splint I had been given and he went above and beyond to answer my question ( even going to Dr Raise to double check ) . I would totally recommend The Core Inst. The ladies at the front desk are great too !!
