“I went to Dr Rakes almost over 2 years ago with the onset of debilitating migraines and this abnormal electric shock feeling I kept getting in my head. I was diagnosed with Chronic Severe Migraines and Trigeminal Neuralgia. She worked with me and placed me on meds that completely cleared me of it all. Unfortunately with any pharmaceuticals there are side effects and I wanted to have a baby which was frowned upon while receiving the meds. I weened off and the headaches began again. She worked with me through the entire time. I tried everything I could under the sun and because of insurance there are steps to take to get to the next level of treatment. I was starting to come to terms with that fact I may have to live with migraines the entire time I want to have children which was a horrible feeling. There was days I had to go to the emergency room and they still could not get the headache to go away. They would send me home and let me know they did all they could, prescribe me a sedative and knock me out and cross fingers it worked. Dr Rakes finally got my insurance to approve Botox and I have no words!!!! It was a complete life changer. My migraines have now turned back into normal headaches and I only get many 5 a month instead of over half the month with a constant migraine. My tension in my neck and shoulders are gone and my TMJ has died down. Botox has been the most life changing drug ever given to me. You receive a lot of injections within that 10 minutes however, they do not hurt and results are mind blowing. I would suggest Dr Rakes for any of your pain issues and especially your migraines. One thing to keep in mind though, you have to take steps and try certain medications due to insurance guidelines until they allow stuff like Botox however, be patient and Dr Rakes will guide you through the process.”

“One of the worst doctors I've ever seen. Dr. Rakes spent less than 5 minutes with me during a follow up visit. In this short period of time she decided there was nothing she could do for my back issues. She had no advise and absolutely no compassion! I left her office very shocked and extremely upset!”

“Dr. Rakes knew that I had a vacation coming up and made sure she would take every step to relieve my pain right away. She showed great compassion and had great bed side manner.”
