Overall Patient Rating
A graduate of Bucknell University and the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, Raymond always had a love of medicine and a desire to help people. Raymond has worked at Saint Vincent Hospital Orthopedic Surgical Service for over ten years. He has also served as Chief Orthopedic Physician Assistant for the past three years. As a member of the Orthopedics department at Reliant, Raymond enjoys helping patients overcome problems and seeing them return to the activities they enjoy. Raymond is a strong believer in involving patients in the care process. “I like to provide patients with guidance, and give them options to choose from,” he explains. “I am always willing to listen to suggestions from patients. I think working together is the best way to enjoy a good outcome.” When he is not busy helping patients, Raymond enjoys spending time with his family. He also likes to be outdoors whether hunting, fishing, skiing or playing hockey.
Star ratings are based on patient responses to the question, “How Likely are you to Recommend Care Provider?” The average score is then displayed in an easy to view, 5-star format. Learn more about how we measure our patient experience. (opens in new window)

As a PA, Raymond does excellent work. The only reason I did not rate him a (10) is that while his work led to a reduction in pain, it is temporary and does not address core issues. He represents himself very well and, by extension, you. He is a definite assist and should be treated as such.
