So informative and knowledgeable! Spent the time to answer our questions and explain the plan!
Answered my questions put my mind at ease
It was 4 o’clock on a Thursday, everyone seemed exhausted from what must have been a long day and week, but Dr. Rachel took his time to explain what he thought was going on with my elbow and the best treatment. No, he wasn’t as chatty or witty as usual, but his expertise is invaluable. Always appreciated.
Great Doctor!!
