J. Nicholas Rachel, M.D.

Highly skilled and very professional.

Really caring Doctor.

Possibly the worst doctor's experience I've ever had. I understand that medical professionals are stressed more than ever right now but wow. I felt like I didn't even have a chance to fully talk about my concerns over my injury before he was out the door. I waited over an hour past my scheduled visit to be passed around by so many different doctors/nurses for maybe 10 minutes I don't think I got a single name.

Took the time to explain what was wrong and treatment. Tried to distract me while giving injection. Always great office personnel as well.

Insisted that I drive a 200 mile round trip to have a 5 min, covid-19 test when I can have one with-in 8 miles of my home before hand surgery.

I would recommend him to anyone, extremely nice, professional, listens to questions and concerns, very good at what he does. ??

Appreciate the quick response to address my wrist issue.

Very personable and took the time to understand the reason why I was at his office. He was thorough and listened to everything I had to say to determine his course of action.

Dr. Rachel was amazing! Absolutely my new go to doctor for hand, wrist, and elbow issues. He was very friendly and informative with all information and help I needed.

Dr Rachel really cares, I always feel good during my consultation. The best doctor I have ever had.

I appreciate Dr. Rachel’s compassionate and attentive care. I have had an exceptional experience under his care for a broken wrist. I have high regard and recommend him without hesitation.

Dr. Rachel is a life saver!

He was very nice

I was extremely afraid that he was going to want to do surgery right away but he didn't . He was very pleasant and put my fears to rest about that any the injections. Thank u Dr. Rachel

Dr. R is compassionate to his patient's pain & very reassuring while administering injections. He builds confidence in his patient. Honest answers to my questions.

I was very pleased I didn’t have to wait very long . He was professional and explained why he chose the treatment to splint and cast my hand. and if the outcome or my healing was not satisfactory what would be the next step if needed and explained that procedure as well. He allowed me to ask questions and I didn’t feel rushed. So over all I was impressed with his bedside manner , not often found in an Orthopedist .

He is Awesome! I have trigger finger and received a shot. I hate needles. He took my mind off the shot by talking to me and rubbed my hand near the needle to help with the pain.

Never met with me or my wife after surgery. Poor beside manner. Cost me a trip to my local E.R. And $300 dollars, because he did not prescribe adaquite pain medication. Scared to prescribe medication to his patients. Weak doctor not recommend.

I saw him today . Nice handsome man I know he is gonna do a great job on my baby girls hands and feet . Thank you

Excellent care.

Excellent job of explaining all my options.

Did not explain well. He also did not recall his previous instructions. I had the impression that he either did not write those down after the previous visit or that he did not read his notes before my visit today. I felt like I did not matter.

Both Doctor and staff were extremely helpful and cheerful. Check in was quick and efficient.

Dr. Rachel is very competent and did my surgery well. The only complaint I might have is his "bedside manner". When he came in today for my surgery, I said "Hello, Doc." He turned, he held up his left hand and said, "Middle finger, left hand, right?

Has a great bedside manner.. only wished I didn’t have to wait so long to see him. Appt was for 1030 I didn’t actually see till 1155

Dr. Rachel is an excellent doctor, very sweet and knowledgeable in his field.

I really liked Dr.Rachel. He was very attentive and explained my condition to where I could understand what was going on. I had to have an injection in both hands and was scared to have it done because I've always heard it's painful but he did GREAT!

Ive noticed that doctors,these days, walk out of the room when they are finished seeing you WITHOUT A WORD OF GOOD BYE OR HAVE A NICE DAY. I do not understand this glitch in manners. 3 of my great docs do this!
