Review for Dr. Rachal
The office staff on the ball, nurses were caring and compassionate, the doctor was direct and informative. Giving education without talking down. Also had a sense of humor and personable which is a plus.

Review for Dr. Rachal
His personality style genuinely relaxes the patient as his surgical competence effectively dealt with consequences of being reared in the generation without access to sunblock
Postmotherhood Aug 30 2024
Review for Dr. Ghidoni
She does more than most specialists. She doesn’t make you feel it’s in your head. She orders tests to check your progress. She studies your walk and gait. She listens. I’ve seen many neurologists in my time and she’s been the best.
