Dr. Rafei is truly an exceptional pediatric doctor. From his warm chairside manner to the way he responds quickly and attentively whenever my boys need care, he consistently goes above and beyond. As a parent, there is nothing more reassuring than knowing your children are in capable and compassionate hands—and that’s exactly what you get with Dr. Rafei.
He is incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to listen, explain, and provide the best care whether it’s a routine visit or an urgent situation. Every time we’ve needed immediate assistance, he has been there without hesitation, making us feel supported and cared for.
We are beyond grateful to have found such a dedicated and trustworthy pediatrician. I highly recommend Dr. Rafei to any family looking for top-quality care—you won’t be disappointed!

Finding a pediatrician who doesn't treat patients like a number is rare, but Dr Rafei is truly exceptional. My preteens had been under the care of a large pediatrics practice in Columbia since they were babies, but we felt more and more like a part on an assembly line. Dr Rafei is so different! He has his own practice specializing in sensitive kids and he doesn't practice 'revolving door' medicine; instead, he takes the time to actually listen, educate us on both physical and mental health topics, and look at my children's health proactively and holistically.
The appointments are usually easy to get, he has stayed after hours to see us at times, and I never felt rushed. Plus, he's usually available via text, even during the weekends. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a experienced, knowledgeable and truly caring pediatrician. Your kids deserve the type of care Dr Rafei offers, you don't have to settle!

By far the best pediatric doctor ever, I had my son on 11-5-25 and I was searching on google for the best pediatric doctor and came across Culex Wellness I have never been so satisfied with the level of care and concern and addressing every chief complaint. I switched my older children to this practice and they love it, the best decision I ever made. Dr. Rafei is the best pediatrician ever 😊, always available by phone. Also to mention the office is supper clean, fun activities for the children to do and no long wait times.
