    Dr. Raaum is an exceptional doctor. She is warm and caring, listening carefully, asking thoughtful questions, and thinking carefully about how to treat. She did not just throw meds at me, and has called to follow up and ask how I¿m doing, and with test results. She is a great doc because she is a special human being who sees her patients as fellow human beings.
