I had an excellent experience with Rachel. I came to the appointment concerned that my sleep issues, anxiety, and possible perimenopausal symptoms might not be taken seriously, but she listened carefully and addressed all of my concerns thoughtfully. She took the time to review my symptoms, discuss treatment options, and answer my questions about hormone therapy in a balanced and evidence-based way. I left the visit feeling heard, respected, and reassured, with a clear plan moving forward. I highly recommend her to other women seeking compassionate and knowledgeable menopause care.

She is great! Answers my questions, never feel rushed.
Rachel went above and beyond to fit me in for an early pregnancy confirmation appointment after a previous miscarriage. She took the time to discuss next steps and share her recommendations, which I deeply appreciated.

She was incredibly caring, validating and explained things well. Allison, the ultrasound tech, was so comforting and explained things great as well.

“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.”
