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.

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!
