She is a breath of fresh air!! She is willing to figure out what’s going on with me instead of just giving me a pill.

Rachel was absolutely wonderful. She took the time to do an incredibly thorough history and asked detailed questions about all of my symptoms instead of focusing on just one issue. I never felt rushed, dismissed, or judged. She listened with genuine compassion and made me feel heard in a way that no other provider has before. After years of searching for answers, it was such a relief to have someone who approached my concerns thoughtfully and took them seriously. I’m very grateful for her care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate provider.

My OBGYN referred me to this office and I was afraid of the appt because my health story is really long and complex but Dr. Rachel not only actively heard it all but she ask all the questions so she could understand it completely. She was super emphatic and made me feel safe and comfortable. I’m looking forward to continue my health journey with her guidance.
