Ray A Mabaquiao, MD

First time in here and walked out so thankful for Jennifer, Dr M and Brad Pitt. They were thorough, professional, attentive, gentle, kind and knowledgable. I can’t say enough ! I felt well taken care of and like they really wanted to help me find out what is wrong. I highly recommend this entire office staff and medical professionals.

I am an old patient of Dr. Mabaquiao’s. I began seeing him in 2006 until we moved out of California in 2009. I have NEVER found such an incredible rheumatologist. I had two different ones in Texas, who were totally incompetent and two in our new home state of Oregon. My current rheumatologist is fine, but I always walk out missing Dr. M and his staff.
I am not a high maintenance patient, but do realize I am a complicated case, with many symptoms being ever-​moving targets. Dr. M took the time to listen to me and was always thinking outside the box. When I researched particular symptoms I was having, he agreed with me often and ended up ordering certain tests I suggested. This is how I was diagnosed with lupus, fibromyalgia, orthostatic hypotension, and others. All because he trusted in what I told him – he paid attention to my symptoms and took the time to listen. He showed me so much kindness, compassion, and patience. Amy was incredible as well.
I was battling for social security disability the whole time I was Dr. M’s patient. It was his information contained in my medical records that won me my case!
I just saw my rheumatologist for a check-​up yesterday and walked away with the same thought: there will never be another Dr. Mabaquiao and I was blessed to have him as my doctor for the time I did.

I have been seeing Dr. M and his staff for ten years. When no one else would listen to what was going on with me, he did. He searched high and low for medicines, treatments, ideas or anything that could help me. Always having to stay inside the guidelines of my sometimes ridiculous insurance. He doesn’t waste time or money. He doesn’t have you come every single month and suck your money out of you. He sees you every 3 months unless you have some type of pending test or procedure. I have tried other Rhuematologists as my insurance dictated over the years. They were so impersonal and didn’t care about anything except sticking to their list of treatments without varying from them, even though we had already tried most of them. They didn’t care, they just wanted to start all over. I ended up paying out of pocket for 2 years just to stay with Dr. M. When I was fighting my social security disability, he and his staff, especially Amy, were there with me the whole way. In addition, during the trial with the social security judge, they had and east coast doctor on the phone to testify against me. He had heard of Dr. M and completely endorsed all his findings and ended up testifying in my behalf because of Dr. M. The judge closed the case immediately and didn’t hear from any more witnesses. I was approved right then and there! I love this guy and his staff. I’ll never leave him again!!!

I was a patient of Dr Mabaquiao for years. He treated me for RA and kept referring to me as an interesting case. I received almost every treatment for this disease that is available but NOTHING worked. Even though I had warned him that I had an addictive personality this Dr. Prescribed huge amounts of OxyContin and Percocet. I ended up in detox and rehab. Fired this guy and saw another Rheumatologist. Guess what? I don’t have RA, I have peripheral neuropathy! Do not trust the diagnostic skills of this Dr! Get a second opinion!
