Dr. Rachel is a very warm and caring provider, and I HIGHLY recommend her. She taught me a lot about my tinnitus and ways to cope with it, and was very patient. She is truly dedicated to her field and patients.
Extremely friendly and very informative. Made me feel comfortable and took the time to explain everything in understandable detail. Did not rush and took the time to answer any and all questions. Highly recommend.
It was a pleasure to meet and consult with Dr. Otto-Thorpe. She is professional, knowledgeable and personable, and she took all the time needed to fashion my ear impressions, and to conduct a routine hearing scan and discuss its results. I highly recommend her care!
