Best doctor ever.
I love Dr Rachel, he is awesome & always makes my hand better
Entire visit was pleasant.
Loved how he got me all fixed up! Should have saw him first instead of urgent care and suffering but I had to have a referral for insurance
Great DR liked his professionalism
Dr. Rachel and his staff are kind, patient and caring. I appreciate all the work they do too ensure all patients are cared for.
He explained everything and put my worries to rest. I really enjoyed the experience.
He was very thorough and explained my options very clearly. He took his time making sure he addressed my concerns and needs.
Dr. Rachel was super kind and diagnosed me right away. He also made sure that I was comfortable since I was nervous. I would highly recommend Dr. Rachel. I hope I don’t have to return but if I do, I’d choose him again.
Very professional and knowledgeable! Dr. Rachel explained my condition thoroughly and in a way I could easily understand. Highly recommend!
