Rachel carefully listens to any issues and carefully shows and explains the images from CT scans and MRI's to address current issues. She takes time to explain in detail exactly what is happening in the affected areas. She does so with such a caring and compassionate attitude. She encourages me to contact her with any questions as they arise. I could not ask for a better provider!
Rachel is amazing. She took the time to talk about my recent surgery and my wound care. She was thorough and compassionate and kind. And she allayed all concerns that I had. She also provided me with all the supplies and information that I needed to care for my wound
Rachel was fantastic she took her time with us and explained everything so we could understand
Rachel provided excellent care and fully explained my treatment options. She demonstrated extensive knowledge of my problems. She quickly addressed my condition and gave me good advice on recommended follow up procedures.
I tell everyone about the great care I received and still receive at this office. All my doctors are blessings.
