Vivek Rai, MD

Dr. Rai seemed to be in a rush to get us out of the office.

Dr. Rai had a follow up appointment with my grandmother because of a stroke. When we arrived for her appointment we were told she wasnt scheduled because the hospital had made a mistake. Dr. Rai was told that we drove over two hours to be there and he didnt turn us away. He did well with her and she was released from his care.

Dr. Rai misdiagnosed my wife with a fatal, incurable disease. His diagnosis stopped the process of looking for something else. A nurse practitioner was primarily responsible in getting the correct diagnosis. If she had been diagnosed accurately, her short-term memory loss may have been avoided.

Dr Rai did not see me at all the month I was in riverside for a major stroke where I flatlined, was on a breathing tube, and totally out of it for some time. When I arrived for my follow up from my stroke I was on a walker, oxygen & still very sick. I explained how my brain still has comprehension issues, memory loss, trouble with reaction times, etc. I showed him how my left (primary) side was still weak, my hand shakes uncontrollably, etc. I was completely blown off! Told I'm doing great, can go back to driving & work. I cannot even write my name!!!! But he told me to get in a car & put myself & every body else on the road in danger!!!!! Work a job that I write & type all day and can no longer do...on the 5th floor of a corporate building with no way out if there is a fire seeing I cannot do steps, let alone 5 floors!!!!!!!! This doctor even told me if I file for disability he would deny it, that all I need to do is take care of my morbid obesity (his exact words) and I would be fine. That I need to go have gastric bypass surgery! When I told him I am not even 100lbs over weight & it's due to 9 years & currently on 20mg of steroids daily for pain & inflammation due to my rheumatoid arthritis and me failing all treatments. He rudely told me that I needed to figure it out...I would not recommend him to my worst enemy!!!!!!!!!
