Rachel is very compassionate and really cares about her patients. She takes time to listen and addresses all of your concerns. I needed to come back for a second mammogram screening and she called me ahead of time just so I wouldn't be alarmed. I was really touched by her thoughtfulness.

“I have a particular interest in obstetrics, its blessings and its difficulties. However, in gynecology, I enjoy contributing to a woman’s awareness of her body and assisting her to care for it to her best ability. I enjoy forming trustworthy and educated relationships with women throughout their lives. Having the privilege to provide care in the fields of Obstetrics and Gynecology is a gift. Arbor ObGyn is a wonderful environment in which to practice.”
