His practice is based on a comprehensive team approach to patient education and care. Dr. Raab utilizes advanced, state-of-the-art techniques in combination with ethical decision making to ensure exceptional orthopedic care for his patients. His strong commitment to patient safety and his warm and friendly interaction with his patients make them feel like family. Dr. Raab specializes in sports medicine in both adult and pediatric patients and provides treatment for injuries involving the rotator cuff, labrum, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscus, and knee ligament reconstruction. He also performs total knee replacements and total hip replacements. He performs arthroscopic (minimally invasive) procedures, which reduce patient discomfort, side effects, and recovery times. The son of a physician, Dr. Raab was inspired by his father’s dedication to helping people and decided to become a doctor at a young age. He educates patients and relies on the latest medical evidence to make sound, ethical treatment recommendations and regards surgery as a last option after non-surgical treatments have been tried.

His love of sports and maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle is something he shares with his family, including his four children. His longstanding participation in these activities gives Dr. Raab an added understanding and appreciation of the importance of healthy bones and joints and helps fuel his determination to improve his patients’ conditions.
