“Rachel is an amazing practitioner. She makes me feel comfortable and heard which is unique when discussing women’s health especially birth control. Every question was answered and each solution was provided. My first visit was an annual and my second was IUD insertion after her & the office made it a breeze for me by confirming my insurance accepted the contraception. Within a few weeks I came back in for my IUD. Now, I feel so great!”

I loved Dr. Zane and all of the staff at this office. They made what is a stressful visit go so smoothly! I already recommended her to all of my friends
November 6, 2025Victoria M.Verified patient
The check-in process at the office as easy / standard, and I had minimal waiting time before I was called in (before my appointment time!). The experience with Dr. Shane was great as she took the time to listen to my concerns, conduct the exam, and provide reassurance and clarifying details throughout.

Dr. Shane was amazing! Honestly she is the first doctor I’ve seen that has spent time actually listening to my concerns and not rushing out of the room to the next patient. Very knowledgeable, Compassionate, and a warm & kind approach. I felt very comfortable
