Shera E Raisen, MD

Still processing incorrect bills from 2014 from this Dr.

Dr. Raisen is such a lovely women and Dr.
She is always beyond helpful whenever I see her.
We end up chatting about all sorts of interesting topics.
She takes the time to find out what is happening in my life and my health.
She is really the best.

Dr. Raisen is very honest & an amazing Dr. Some people might not be able to handle how honest she is but I would rather want someone to be honest and care about my results than just try to take my money! She takes the time to explain exactly what’s going and breaks everything down. I would def recommend her to all my friends!

Dr. Raisen is a GODSEND! My uncle was at the V.A. Hospital with an infection in his big toe, and the podiatry team was a heartbeat away from amputating his toe, when I rushed in and took him out of the hospital and into Dr. Raisen’s office. Using her expertise in so many areas of medicine, Dr. Raisen was able to wean my uncle off the pharmaceutical drugs (that were giving him a huge awful rash on his forehead) and onto natural remedies. AFTER ONLY TWO WEEKS, MY UNCLE’S TOE IS HALF WAY HEALED AND HE GETS TO KEEP IT! His home health nurse said, «It would have been a shame if they had taken it off!» Words cannot express how appreciative I am of Dr. Raisen. She is a one-​of-​a-​kind, brilliant physician who, because of her licensing as both an M.D. and an N.D. (Naturopathic Doctor), has the rare ability to guide people to complete healing, when conventional doctors treat patients by cutting ailing body parts out, radiating them or drugging them up to mask the symptoms. I asked Dr. Raisen if she help me heal his toe and also wean him off of the pharmaceutical drugs and onto natural remedies. She did it! His rash is gone, his blood pressure is perfect, he can feel his feet again, and the wound on his toe is almost completely healed. THANK YOU, DR. RAISEN! YOU ARE MY HERO! Janet, Glendale CA

Dr. Raisin is an amazing doctor. She spends much more time with her patients than your average doctor. She is very well educated and gets to the root of the problem and is wonderful with follow ups and assisting you in achieving the best health possible. Highly recommended!

After seeing several doctors who proved a waste of my time and money… Dr. Raisen quickly got to the root of my problem and made me feel better than I thought I could feel. She’s the only doctor I’ve ever been to who treated me like an intelligent human being, explained everything, and didn’t make it all seem so mysterious. Walking out of her office I had the prominent thought, «If she had been my doctor when I was a kid, I would definitely have wanted to become a doctor myself!» If you have a problem that other doctors can’t solve, go to Dr. Raisen, she will get to the core of it.

If I could rate 0 stars I would. Dr Raisen was so rude right from the start. I came in for a rash on my finger, but instead she decided to tell me how splotchy and uneven skin tone I had on my face. She started off by saying what happen to your face? Shocked about how up front she was, I tried to continue about my finger. She kept saying «I’m sorry I’m so distracted with your skin on your face». «you must where a lot of make up not to notice». I do not wear a lot of makeup and I take care of my skin. I have never had an issue with my skin let alone on my face. When I asked for a referral for my finger she told me she would mail me one. I asked if it was possiable to get the refferal today, she responded with «we are really busy here». When I asked if she could at least find one close to where I live she replied will see. She never even looked at my finger. I left with no answers and very upset. I cried on the way home thinking what was wrong with my face. I can’t believe that a Dr whom I have never met was so rude and unprofessional.
1 week later I received the referral. Not only is it even close to where I live, but it’s not even for my finger it’s for my face. Will never go back to her again. Awful Awful

My experience with Dr Raisen and her staff was absolutely awful, I cannot tell you how disappointed I am with her treatment. She bills herself as an integrative practitioner, and as a place to go for people who don’t want to see the average western medicine general practitioner. She is worse than any GP I have ever seen, she is completely distracted and doesn’t listen to you at all during your appointment.
I had a few issues that I wanted to address and she informed me straight away that I was to pick ONE and that she didn’t care about my other issues. Disappointed, I was already in the office, had taken the morning off of work for the appointment, she was going to bill me anyway, so I stayed even though as we spoke some red flags were starting to fly. She began to worry me when she read medical text to me off her phone of what she thought my condition might be and had trouble recalling basic medical terms. Hey I have WEB MD at home I don’t need her to charge me to read it to me. She then began to tell me to do my own research and suggested books I should read about holistic medicine. I am kind of starting to wonder what I am paying her for.
What is apparent with her practice is the lack of professionalism from her and especially from her staff.
It is extremely easy to get an appointment with Dr Raisen even-​though from what I can tell she only sees patients two days a week and makes you very aware that she works from a «home office» the other days, so you will need to be patient if you want information. The checkout/​billing is not done at the front desk but is shoved into a storage closet as you stand in the hall. No time for questions they want you in and out ASAP. They also process your credit card payment at another location and just write your cc number on your chart (had I known this I would not have handed over my card).
I had the blood tests done that she recommended right there in the office left a little worse for ware, with a prescription for an antibiotic.
I called a week or so later for my test results and they said that I needed to come in for an appointment. Worried that something was wrong I made the appointment and took my husband with me as they didn’t give me much information on the phone. She goes over the results with me for her to tell me that the results are inconclusive and I need to have more blood work done. Couldn’t she have just sent me to a lab? Did I really need an appointment for this?
When I asked her for a referral for a pain in my knee from an injury she suggested a rheumatologist.(I was pretty sure she had not heard me.)
I have the blood drawn again and this time call for my results. All they tell me is that I need another appointment. I insist that they send me my results beforehand. They do send one page with the doctors «notes» all over it and two of the pages are missing. I called and left several messages to retrieve the missing pages and hopefully have clean copies (no one ever picks up the phone when you call they always return your call) I even e-​mail asking for copies and all of the documents regarding my results. I finally get a call from her rude assistant Miranda telling me that the info on the other pages was just info for the doctor. Oh really and who paid for those results? That would be me. Is your doctor entitled to withhold any portion of your medical results? Absolutely not.
I have left several other messages asking to be called back, I am under her care after all and no one has since returned my call.
Shameful.

I was very very unpleased with my experience with Dr Raisen. I feel she is not integral and does not have a general concern for her patients well being. She represents her self as a holistic aware doctor. Before going to see her I read her website and thought by the way she represented her self on the site that she would have patients and be a Doctor with a hands ons approach, in which she would give her patients the attention and care they were paying for. In my experience with her nothing could be further from the truth. She rushed me in and out and was not through at ALL. She is scattered brain and clearly is trying to see as many patients in a day as possible for financial purposes. Which make her time extremely limited with you. She is in no way concerned about the patients needs. Instead I feel she gives you the standard 15 min slot of time after which her main focus is to take your money. As much as she can get. She recommended me to take several unnecessary test and pushed the products she sells in her office that I didnt need on me. Later I found out she get a % of the sales when her clients buy them.
She refused to answer my questions regarding the test she had me take and demanded that for me to get the results I had to do another office visit and pay more $. When I was reluctant to to do this she agreed to do a $ 100 «consultation» over the phone. Our phone conversation was about 8 mins long where she refused to answer my questions or be through. She rushed me off the phone and only recommend I take the various supplements in her office for sale, then I asks her to explain the test results and she said she didnt have time and passed the phone to the reception who was clueless as to my inquiries. Then they charged my credit car they had on file THREE times ($ 300) for the 8 min phone conversation in which she refused to even answer my questions.
Her receptionist Miranda is a very nice women who knows how to deal with people well but she could not do much to help. In addition I was misinformed by Raisen and her office that the test I got would be no more then $ 290. I was paying out of pocket so I was fanatical about finding out how much the test would cost. I was assured on more then one occasion that $ 290 is the maximum I would pay. The test ended up costing me a total (two test I might add) of $ 2600 plus the money I shelled out to her office for poor service and lack of her help for a total of $ 3500. Now $ 3500 later I still have yet to get her response in what my test results were and the problem still exist. In summary, I highly recommend you avoid this doctor by all cost! In my opinion and experience she only cares for patients for financial reason and has no other motive then get your money. It is a shame that she is so unintegral when people go to her truster her as a professional and seeking honest medical care.

I was a patient of Dr. Raisen’s for six years. She has a great mix of depth and breadth of knowledge about prevention and treatment. Her deep knowledge of western medicine and its strengths and limitations is complemented by a healthy appreciation for alternative approaches.

I’m a long time patient of Dr. Shera Raisen and recommend her for anyone (male or female) looking for a solid, open minded, and seasoned medical practitioner. She is friendly, attentive and cares about about my entire well being. Her practice accepts my health insurance and her office offers other helpful, complimentary services which I’ve taken advantage of.

Dr. Raisen was nice enough, but seemed like she was distracted and didn’t have the time for me every appointment I had.
