Dr. Raia was fine, honestly. He just doesn't want to hear all the fluff. Be direct and get to the point. My daughter had a hand injury and we saw him today, and although I get the feeling he has Asperger's or a slight social disconnect of some sort, I feel that this did not interfere with his job of diagnosing where the problem was in her hand or how to address the injury. After all, we're not there to get coddled and babied, we go to the doctor to find a solution to a health issue. Dr. Raia did exactly that.
