Now that I myself am in my final year of medical school I can say with confidence that these doctors knows their stuff and will get you appointments with specialists promptly if needed. I have now worked with hundreds of doctors over the course of my medical school career and I can say this doctor and her staff rank in the top 5 in my humble opinion. To the previous poster who didn't "claim" to have a good experience my response: what does not taking credit card have to do with how good of a doctor someone is? Second you complain about copayment but then you demand to see a specialist when your doctor doesn't feel you need to see one and is probably saving you a copay at the specialists office; remember sometimes what makes a good doctor is one that will not pander to your wishes and actually do what is in your interest and not just what will make you happy at that moment.. Thirdly I do believe these doctor spend adequate time with their patients.. No primary care doctor at any office I'd going to spend an hour or even thirty minutes with you.. You can thank the US goverment for making Medicare and medical payments so little to primary docs .. Trust me these docs spend more time with you than 95% of docs I worked with. All in all these are good docs and staff from my experience with them and my comparison to other docs I have worked with in medical school..From what I hear both Dr.Rai's are some of the busiest and well respected doctors in the Modesto/Ceres area. Sorry for my rant regarding the other persons review.. I just get defensive when it comes to my doctor plus the other person was probably a disgruntled employee or something..Thank you Dr. Rai and staff for over 20 years of care !!!

The waiting room is filled to capacity. Decided to wait. Waited an hour to be called back, only to wait in an exam room another 30 mins. Dr comes in, sits and is out of the room in 3 mins. Did not have many other options so I have figured for what we need this is fine. Well over the course of 6 months, this office has lost labs, had us wait hours at a time. Doctor still comes in the room and says nice to meet you. Oh and one more thing that we just laugh about. My husband is seen here as well, and is diabetic. Dr comes in the room and tells him. Your eyes have another 10 years, your kidneys maybe 8 years, ok see you next month. Thanks fortune teller....thanks!! Its time to move on, new patients be aware.

I had just moved from San Joaquin county (Lodi) to Stanislaus county (Ceres). I was in need of a…read moredoctor to continue my psychiatric medications so I selected Dr Meetinder Rai in Modesto CA. My first appointment was in December of 2015. When the doctor came in I explained what medications I needed to be continued and provided him with the corresponding prescription bottles. He told me I would need to take a drug test and get my medical records transferred to him before any medication would be prescribed. I took the drug test and 20 minutes later he told me that I had passed. He also told me that I needed to take a nebulizer and a regiment of azithromycin for preventative reasons. I thought that was unusual but I complied. When I left the office I called my Doctor in Lodi and began the medical records transfer. I was scheduled for another appointment 2 weeks later. When I went it for the second visit I told him I started the medical records transfer and that I was now out of my medications and my symptoms were becoming uncontrolled and worsening. He told me that he hadn't received my records yet and that until he did there was nothing he could do and I was turned away. I continued to call the office 3 times a week until finally I was told my records had arrived on February 21st2016. I had now been out of my meds for 2 months and my symptoms were worse than they had ever been. I scheduled an appointment for that same Thursday February 25. When the doctor came in he scanned my medical records and confirmed with me the prescriptions I needed. He only looked at the first 10 pages or so or at least 50 pages. He said he would have no problem starting me back on them provided I pass another drug test. I complied. 20 minutes later he came in and told me I had passed the drug test but we had another problem. He told me that I had been prescribed a narcotic (norco) on 3 occasions during the past year. I attempted to explain to him that I have suffered from chronic migraines since I was 17 and was always continually prescribed that. I had gotten those prescriptions from the local urgent care and the ER at Memorial because at that time I didn't have a primary care provider. He interrupted me and said that the circumstances did not matter and became angry. He told me that he "knew" I was a drug addict and a High Risk patient and that I would have to get my medications from another doctor. He then told me that I was dropped as a patient, he also said he was going to call the CVS pharmacy and cancel the remaining refills on my asthma medications. He also told me that due to my medical history he felt threatened and had a member of his staff escort me out of his office. Not one time did I raise my voice or even become hostile in any way. I have been suffering from extreme anxiety and depression and I just wanted my symptoms to be back under control. I am now left with no Doctor and must restart this ENTIRE process over again with a new doctor. I can't even begin to tell you how upset and disappointed I am that I escalated to this. Dr. Rai turned me away multiple times when all I wanted was to continue my psych meds that I have been on since 1999. I also noticed that many patients would go back to the exam area and come back out in less than 5 minutes with a prescription in hand. This guy doesn't seem to be as concerned with his patient's health as he is with his billing. It looks like an insurance "patient mill".
