My first visit with Dr Rachel was 1/26/2026 and he very pleasant. He was knowledgeable and he made me feel comfortable and I understood what he was talking about concerning my diagnosis and treatment. I would highly recommend him.
Dr.N.Racheal is always so friendly and professional I highly recommend him.
Dr. Rachel is a great doctor who never fails to explain the causes of my symptoms and provide an effective treatment, and he does this with a sense of humor. Thank you, Dr. Rachel.
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
