My experience with Dr. Rachel was great, beginning with the reception all the way to treatment. Dr. Rachel effectively took care of the issue that I came in to see him about and also provided consultation on other areas that I was interested in. He's very friendly, thoughtful, and informative. I will definitely go back to see him.

Fantastic doctor, incredibly thorough and friendly. I would definitely recommend Dr. Rachel. He was sensitive to my condition and sensitive to the timing with the year end with insurance matters.

My worries were eased finally. I knew something was wrong with my nose and such, but I kept being told that it was just a cold. Now I have an idea of what is wrong and that there is something that can be done. Plus he took the time to explain everything. Great job!

Very nice office, very welcoming staff, and Dr. Rachel is GREAT!! He is very knowledgable, very gracious, and very kind - could not have asked for a better experience!!
All I can say is wow !!! This doctor and his staff were amazing. This is defiantly a doctor who cares. This was my first time seeing DR. Rachel and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needed an ENT.
Verified patient
What a nice guy! He asks a lot of questions and really tries to get to the bottom of the problem. Really nice receptionist, too.
Very professional and friendly.
Dr. Rachel is a superb and skilled surgeon. There are few if any doctors that have the high regard that Dr. Rachel has for his patients. His surgical skills are surpassed by none.
Smart doctor. He asked me way smarter questions than doctors usually ask, which made diagnosing what kind of throat infection I had a matter of seconds. Then he explained everything about it. My only complaint is that he failed to inform me that the antibiotics he rescribed for me they stain the teeth brown. I would have liked to know and/or to have been given options.
Healthcare in America is loaded with challenges; so much so that most "patient experiences" have left me feeling like a cog on an assembly line. I used to think the CARE in healthcare was all shriveled up... until my appointment today with Dr. Rachel. He offered such patience, kindness, and thorough explanation to my many questions. Additionally, he quickly and painlessly removed a lesion in 15 minutes that other, less patient-centered providers recommended an all-day OR procedure for! I have been saved time, anxiety, and my faith in healers is restored. THANK YOU Dr. Rachel for being a different kind of doctor. With much appreciation, Erika H.
