Raby Rebecca MD

Dr. Raby’s partner Dr. James is my primary allergist. I had to see Dr. Raby with an issue while Dr. James was unavailable. She was pleasant and extremely thorough. I would happily see either of the physicians in the office. I have referred several friends to their practice.

I just met Dr Raby for the first time last week and I had the opposite of what the other reviewer had happen. We have been paying over $ 5k for a monthly infusion another doctor told me I needed because of a rare immune disorder I was diagnosed with. I have been really sick. Turns out I’ve been really sick because I don’t need the infusions. My body’s been fighting the infusion and making me more sick, meanwhile I’m thinking I’m getting worse. My last doctor just kept saying he didn’t know why I was feeling that way. That’s it.
Dr Raby took the time to look over my last year and half of lab work and parse through the last few doctors notes and show me why these diagnoses don’t fit, why I’m having these reactions, and what we are going to do from here on out. It’s the first time in years that I actually feel like I was listened to, looked at, and fully explained what was happening. We are taking me off the infusions for three months and trying something else. Saving money, time, side effects, sanity! I’m so excited.
I had the same experience that the other reviewer had with another immunologist, Dr Kumar. So, I don’t know. You just have to find who’s right for you, and make sure you know your insurance coverage before you allow work-​ups to be done. I had a walk-​in clinic try to run a bunch of tests on me once and I walked out because I knew my insurance at the time wouldn’t cover it. The doctor was fighting with me that I had to have them.

Don’t just walk, RUN away from this office!
My husband was referred to Dr. Raby by our PCP for a terrible bout with a skin rash. Dr. Raby performed in office allergy testing on him, which seemed like a logical place to start. We got some results right away from that, but she also ordered blood work. My husband didn’t realize until he got to the lab, the blood work amounted to 10 vials (!!) of blood, as well as a urine sample. We were feeling pretty optimistic though thinking all this testing would surely tell us what was wrong with him. Turns out, we couldn’t have been more wrong! Three weeks after this work up, I received my Explanation of Benefits from my insurance company and learned the office visit to Dr. Raby was almost $ 1000 and the blood work… the blood work totaled almost $ 5000! This shock combined with the fact we have not even HEARD from Dr. Raby about the lab results added insult to injury. My husband promptly showed up in the office (after not being able to get a call back) and was told the blood work showed nothing more than we learned from the in office allergy testing. We assumed that Dr. Raby had a plan of action to tackle my husband’s issue and never thought she was just «shooting in the dark» with all this testing. Since the initial visit, we never even heard back from Dr. Raby. The best my husband got was information through the nurse. On 6 July, more than four weeks after my husband’s appointment, the nurse phoned to say Dr. Raby recommended he take a whole slew of allergy medications to cover the gamut.
This whole debacle has been absolutely ridiculous and ghastly expensive with nothing to show for it.
