He is a great doctor. He listens and honestly tries to do what is best for his patients.
Great bedside manners
It's rare to have a doctor spend time with you, answer your questions, and explain everything in medical terms and general terms. Dr. Rachel is one of the best communicators I've met in the medical world. He's also caring and knowledgeable, and focused on treatment triage. 10 starts if I could double them!
