Wonderful experience with Dr. Rafei We connected with Dr. Rafei year and half ago and our experience has been wonderful. Always easy to make appointments and talk to . Dr always follows up and is genuinely concerned about the patient he sees.

Dr. Rafei is an amazing pediatrician. He is attentive, thorough with his explanations, and always takes the time to answer every question without making you feel rushed. His friendly demeanor makes visits so much less stressful, and he even takes off-duty calls when concerns come up. I especially appreciate that he doesn’t push vaccinations, but instead carefully educates parents on the benefits of each one so you can make informed decisions for your little one. Highly recommend!

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!

Dr. Rafei and his team are remarkable. After recently moving to Maryland, I was able to get a wellness appointment right away. When my toddler had a high fever, they saw us within an hour. Dr. Rafei provided a thorough explanation of my child's illness, including what stage the virus was in and what I should expect next—an experience I've never had before! He even followed up the next day. Dr. Rafei also takes a holistic approach to wellness, considering a patient's full family history and background, which is exactly what I was looking for.

Carmen Stuparu 2026.04.01

     

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!

At Culex Wellness, our goal is to create a different kind of experience for families, one that feels personal, unhurried, and centered on the whole child—not just a visit or a diagnosis. We’re so glad you’ve felt that difference and honored to be part of your children’s care.

Dr. Rafie at Culex Wellness in Columbia is truly an exceptional pediatrician. He is incredibly caring, knowledgeable, and takes the time to listen to every concern without ever making you feel rushed. What stands out the most is his dedication—he goes above and beyond for his patients, even being available after hours when needed. The office is clean, welcoming, and the staff is friendly and professional. Dr. Rafie has a great way with children, making them feel comfortable and at ease during visits. His explanations are clear, thoughtful, and personalized, which gives parents confidence and peace of mind. It’s rare to find a doctor who combines compassion, accessibility, and high-quality care at this level.

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.

We are happy to have found Dr. Rafei as our son's pediatrician. He responds to text messages after hours and even saw my son on a Sunday when he had the flu. He checked in on my son after an injury and sick visit. When we needed more medication, he filled the prescription very quickly. Most doctors are very hard to get a hold of, but Dr. Rafei will provide personalized care. He makes my son feel comfortable and we never feel rushed out of the appointment. His staff is also great too and responds to email. Thank you, Dr. Rafei!

We are so glad we chose Dr. Rafei as our pediatrician. He makes himself incredibly accessible, texting and doing virtual visits even after hours and on weekends, which has been great for my husband and me as worried first time parents. He sends follow-up texts the next day, too, after our baby has been sick, to make sure she’s progressing in the right direction and answer any new questions that have arisen. We also never have any trouble making in-person appointments; his schedule is not over-booked. On top of his accessibility, he’s also clearly very knowledgeable about sensitivities such as allergies and eczema, and he stays on top of new research. And it’s clear that he loves babies and loves what he does! My husband and I did a “meet and greet” appointment before our baby was born and were impressed and relieved to have found such a committed and knowledgeable pediatrician before our baby was born.
