Ratings & Reviews
4.8 out of 5

- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 3/11/2026
Rachel is absolutely amazing. Caring, professional, and confident. Very willing to do whatever it takes to get me the medical care I need.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/25/2026
Rachel Sterner was great. She listened to me and was very thorough.
- 1 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/20/2026
When I arrived for my appointment, the nurse checking me in asked me if I had any concerns to discuss with the PA, and I had a list of 5 items. When the PA came in, she told me to choose the 3 items with which I was most concerned and to save the other 2 for a future visit. I find this to be completely unacceptable. I pay top dollar for health care, and to be asked to dismiss concerns for which I was looking forward to discussing until another time was, in a word, shocking. I'll be changing providers.

First time meeting Rachel and she was very sweet

Rachel was very attentive and sympathetic to my problems. It was obvious that she had looked over my chart prior to seeing me. This was the type of interaction that I haven't had in several years with primary care.
