Dr Rako & [...] are FANTASTIC! Dr. Rako fixed me after I had NUMEROUS surgeries & 2 infections from a different facility. I was ready to give up but Dr Rako promised he'd fix me & HE DID! I can walk and I am infection free thanks to Doc Rako!!! All thanks to him I am able to fulfill my dream and be a nurse again when I didn't think I'd be able to. I owe him so much! He wouldn't give up on me and that means everything to me! Don't ever let him leave because he really is special!!

Couldn't have been better
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/28/2026
As a nurse, I have worked with thousands of surgeons. Now as a patient for 3 + years I have seen multiple surgeons. Hands down Dr.Kyle Rako MD is a unicorn in today's world of receiving less than the bare minimum of care! It's profit over patients but NOT with Dr. Rako. He knew I had a traumatic experience [...] last year. He unlike every surgeon actually listens, cares and is empathetic, kind and so confident in his skills He reassured me I was safe! He is extremely humble, down to earth, which is very unusual for a surgeon! Even though now I have complex PTSD from my [...] nightmare I had no doubts he would take care of me and all his patients like they were his own mother! He is very respectful and extremely intelligent. He didn't just tell me this is what I'm doing, he explained in detail and showed me my scan results to help me understand the severity of me needing a total knee replacement! Please [...], appreciate what we have in Dr. Rako and do everything in your power to keep him here! I learned the hard way bigger is always better and the Dr. Rako's of the world are Rare! He is one in a million!! I was so pleased with him I asked for business cards and already referred 4 people to him! I am extremely picky and have never done that! I am extremely grateful he chose to come to NEPA when obviously with his background he could have gone anywhere but chose your hospital! He is a gem and I implore you to do everything to keep him happy, well compensated as he so deserves so he doesn't leave our hospital! He restored my faith in Geisinger/ [...] so please contact me if you ever need someone to endorse him as a amazing human, doctor and provider for your hospital! Respectfully submitted, [...]

- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/10/2025
I have had many bad experiences leading to the reason for my visit, causing me to lack trust in all medical doctors, but Dr. Rako made me feel the best when it came to my situation.
