I believe that every child is a unique person and that they deserve the highest level of care tailored to their needs. I take a holistic approach in my evaluations with the goal to help each child reach their highest potential. I see myself as part of the child’s team and a cheerleader for them on their journey through childhood.

Rating & Reviews
Dr. Raz is a valued member of my child's team.
Everyone has been great thank you!
We always have such a positive experience with Dr. Raz. She takes the time to listen to our concerns and never makes us feel rushed.
Julie at the front desk is a treasure. She was so sweet to our son. Dr. Raz is fabulous!
So good with the kids
We are so thankful to have Dr. RAZ in our lives. She has been so amazing with our son. He has made major progress in just the few months he's been seeing her. She truly cares about him and his progress. She listens to any concerns I have. Highly recommend seeing her. She is a top notch doctor! They don't make them all like her!! Amazing woman!!
I appreciate the doctor's judgement and recommendations for my aon
Best medical experience we have ever had.
Dr Raz is amazing and our child loves her. He can communicate with her openly and well.
Dr. Raz is our first developmental pediatrician, but she's 10 out of 10. We saw one for a short while in Wisconsin when my daughter was first diagnosed with autism, but since meeting Dr. Raz and certain protocols that she's working with us on for sleep and such, she's explained things clearly. She's 10 out of 10, and I've seen a lot of doctors being diabetic my whole life. I spent a year at Phoenix Children's 30 years ago getting trained up for type 1 diabetes when I was a kid, so I know the hospital well. But yeah, she's a 10 out of 10, and I would highly recommend her to all my friends who also have autistic kids. So thank you.
The experience was very good.I liked the Provider Dr.Raz and her team. Thankyou.
Dr. Dannah Raz is an outstanding developmental pediatrician. She was a breath of professional fresh air based on the terrible experiences we had previously had with developmental pediatric departments in other care provider networks in Arizona. We live in Tucson metro, and her knowledge and apparent care for her medical craft were evident from the get-go making the drive well-worth it.
Dr Raz was wonderful. She was very helpful and took time to fully explain things to us. She was empathetic for what we were experiencing and offered hope with a plan of how best to proceed. She spent a lot of time interacting directly with our daughter.
We love Dr Raz is the absolute best!
Wonderful doctor and staff. Felt like she took the time to actually talk to not only me but my son. Thankful to have met this doctor.
Dr. Raz is exceptional! We are so grateful to have her as a provider.
Everyone was great
Staff was very nice and supportive. Really amazed to see the setup. Thank you
Dr. Rath is very helpful for myself and my child. She's always able to answer questions that I need answered. She's very helpful in helping me get referrals that are helpful for my daughter. So I really appreciate her. The staff always show me respect and kindness, especially to my child. Everyone treats me and my child well.
Great experience with Dr Raz and her medical student. I felt they tried to get to know my son in the limited time we had for our appointment and were able to get a pretty accurate idea of his personality through their play and interactions. Very happy to have Dr Raz as our physician!
Dr. Razz is always professional and helpful.
We feel very fortunate to have Dannah Raz as our daughter's developmental pediatrician. She is thoughtful, she listens, very informative, asks great questions, and always helpful when we are struggling with an issue.
Dr. Raz was so kind and compassionate with my son and I. This has been a difficult time for the both of us trying to understand each other and me trying to support him in any way that I can with his high support needs. Dr. Raz answered all my questions, showed intense empathy to me when I desperately needed it and made my son feel very comfortable. I am so thankful for the whole experience
Dr Razz is amazing! She is very knowledgeable and cares for her patients. She makes sure to listen carefully and helped us understand what is needed for our daughter. Every med she has suggested for our daughter has 100% improved the daily living for our daughter. We are so thankful to have Dr Razz as a part of our PCH Team! Thanks again!!! _
Dr Raz is a phenomenal physician. I am so thankful we were lucky enough to establish care with her. She is very knowledgeable and makes you feel like your questions are valid.
It was nice having the doctor listen and fully understand my concerns.
Dr. Raz really takes her time with us and makes us feel important during our visit. She offers wonderful insight, answers questions, offers resources, and is so great engaging my child.
I love that Dr. Raz is available through the patient portal. Communication is great. Now that my son is established I don't mind the long waiting for an appointment because we can continue care through the portal. She is familiar with DDD and ALTCS so I am grateful.
Dr. Raz is amazing, sweet, kind, understanding, caring and she shows she cares. My son loves going with her. Her staff in the front was so sweet and kind. I appreciate how they treated my son.
Very punctual and patient with my list of questions.
