ENT SurgeonI have worked closely with Rafael for many years now. I see many of his patients for rehabilitation following him diagnosing them through vestibular testing. His diagnosis is always accurate; he is friendly and approachable. I know if I have any questions, he is always happy to answer them and responds quickly too. He builds a good rapport with patients who often mention how good he is and how he makes them feel comfortable. I am that confident in his abilities I have even had him treat members of my own family. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
