Dr. Rabaza is very professional, very skilled, very communicative and concerned about hearing the patient's symptoms and deciding any prior investigation before surgery. Years ago he removed my gallbladder with stones. I recommend Surgeon General Dr. Rabaza to any friend, family member, or other person who needs it.

Dr. Rabaza was thorough in his assessment and explanations of the upcoming surgery. While the PA was pleasant and was efficient in his completion of the necessary paperwork, I wish he would have slowed the pace of his speech and did not give the impression that he was rushed. I was fully aware that there were many patients waiting to be seen. However, once in the consultation area it would be helpful to not appear rushed.
