I saw dr Rae back in 2007 and this guy really dropped the ball and I would not recommend him to anyone. He failed to diaganose my tracheal stenosis (scar tissue growing across my trachea) and said he'd send me to another specialist only to go on vacation and not following through on the referral. Oh, and his answer to everything is Gaviscon. I ended up seeing another doctor who listened to my breathing with a stethescope and found the area where the tissue was growing. A broncoscopy a couple of days later showed I was esentially breathing through a staw size opening. Luckily, Dr Rae did not do dialation surgeries so I saw Dr Garland instead. Thank God for that woman. If Dr Rae had bothered to really look down my throat with the scope, the blockage would have been visable. I was told another couple of weeks and I may have suffocated to death.

Dr Rae has been my doctor since I was 11 yrs old. I am now 24 and continue to see him for previous ear related problems. Although I am now living in Halifax I am so pleased with the way I have been treated over the years in that office I will continue to book my appointments with Dr. Rae when I am in Saint John. I went from being deaf in one ear to gaining back %60 of my hearing because of him!!!!! =)

Bedside manner wasn't great. Too quick to suggest surgery. I decided to seek another opinion.

I took my son to him several times. He was fantastic with my son and me . His office staff are something else. She ought to be a prison warden not a doctor's office receptionist. You have to give her as good as she gives and she will back down a little. Talk about"God Complex'!!! She not Dr. Rae's got that in spades. Hope she reads this site.

My son was a patient of his from birth. Dr. Rae was great at the beginning, but He seemed to tell me one thing at one apointment then tell me the exact oposite the next. Also he discharged my son without informing me.

Dr. Rae is awesome he put my 2 yr olds tubes in I drove from hartland to saint john jsut to have him instead of some other doctor who doesn't have a clue. I saw him at URVH for consult so I have never met his office staff before but the nurses at the URVH are wonderful, as well at st joes hospital in St John where the surgery was done, I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Rae is an excellent doctor, very passionate and knowledgeable. He is kind and even recognizes me outside of the office, even stopping to say hi. He is an excellent doctor who is great with kids, and although I have endured long wait times, he is a very sought after specialist, and so it is understandable that he is extremely busy. Strongly recommended.

Dr. Rae is wonderful. My daughter has been going to him since she was three and he has been great with her and I think he is one of the best doctor by far.

A pleasant enough doctor and an obviously capable surgeon, but highly inaccessible. I had some questions regarding an upcoming surgery with him and he wouldn't return any of my calls. I'd travelled a considerable distance to see him and didn't want to do it again for a 2 minute conversation. The receptionist is both unpleasant and unhelpful.

Dr. Rae is one of the roughest doctors I have ever met.He knows what he is doing but is terrible at patient relationships.He seems much better with children but with adults he doesn't seem to care at all.His staff esp. front desk leaves a lot to be desired,very rude and will interrupt you if you are trying to explain anything to her and if you don't agree with her she just ignores you.Overall..very poor service.
