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.
Straight to the point with an excellent result.
Good bedside manner. Listens well Highly recommend
Professional, friendly, easy to talk to and went over everything in regards to my treatment.
I have full faith in Dr Rachel. I feel he is the best in his field.
Dr. Rachel is very personable and has a wonderful demeanor. He identified the problem with a thorough explanation about treatment. He did not prescribe unnecessary medication or procedures. He was very reassuring about being available if the problem continued to be bothersome.
