Explained it so I could understand it. Gave me options. Very helpful I would visit again. Friendly staff.
Dr Rachel is a very knowledgeable doctor with a personal touch. He explained my treatment and allowed me to voice my opinion, my thoughts and my feelings of what is needed. I appreciate him for too many times a professional person would talk above their patients. He's not that way. Thank you Dr Rachel.
Dr. Rachel is a wonderful, competent, caring physician. He and his staff are completely focused on giving the very best care and treatment for their patient.
Great experience, the appointment was on time, I was in and out od the office in 30 minutes,
Nice guy!

Great explanations. Explained every treatment and option. Very friendly.
Love Dr Rachel! He’s the best. Took care of my finger problem immediately.
Went in for one procedure, came out with another procedure scheduled! He noticed a condition I have and we talked about it. He took the time to talk to me and I appreciate it. I forgot to ask if insurance covers it, so I’ll have to call back.
