J. Nicholas Rachel, M.D.

Just love Dr Rachel!!!

Dr. Rachel took his time and explained options of treatment to me. Very pleasant experience.

Fantastic doctor, a caring physician and just a nice guy.

Very professional and easy to talk to. Very knowledgeable!

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 .

Dr Rachel was very kind and took his time with me. Explained everything and what he was doing to treat my problem.

Completely impressed. Thank you for taking care of my problem.

Such wonderful help---thank you.

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.

Don’t care for him. Second time I have seen him thought I would give him a second chance Not again I will move onto another hand dr. He needs to learn to listen to his patients.

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.

Knows what he is doing. Very logical mind. Great diagnostician. Gives a smooth shot.

Great doctor.

Dr. Rachel explained my options very clearly, and the cortisone shot did not hurt nearly as much as I had feared. If I have to return for the surgery, I will ask for Dr. Rachel.

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!
