Verified Patient Reviews for Rachel Matthews, APRN, CNM
There was a lot of confusion over scheduling BUT they did fix it and got me in to see Rachel and she was amazing. Worth the wait
Very attentive staff, kind, calm :) I love Rachel - she is very patient and informative, providing feedback and guidance even when I'm not sure what to ask for. I'm hoping she will be there when I deliver my baby and love seeing her on Mondays.
Dr. Rachel cares and took the time to make me not worry. I'm happy to be her patient.
Quick, but helpful services. Staff is amazing and Rachel Matthews is easy to talk to.
Wait time was okay compared to the last time where I waited an hour to be seen without notice. I had to wait for a referral but it didn't take too long around 5-10 mins which wasn't bad. Rachel is always super amazing.
