Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Rachel Medbery explained everything she would be doing in my surgery and what to expect with my recovery. She let me ask any questions which she answered. I now understand and I am comfortable with everything. I am so thankful she took my case.

She is the BEST
Dr. Medbery came highly recommended to me and now that I've seen her and let her do my surgery, she really is. She had a great bedside manner, sat patiently and answered all of my questions, and was just overall nice and personable. I was slightly on the fence about the surgery but now that I've had it I don't regret it at all, and I am so glad I chose her to do it.

Dr. Medbery
Outstanding! I had the absolute best experience with Dr. Medbery from the office visit to the surgery a month later. She explained everything to me on a diagram where I could understand what was happening....and then prior to surgery she came in with her all girl team, which I loved and made me feel so comfortable. She is confident, smart, warm, calming and simply the best! I would absolutely return to her if my body needed it.

Not what I was expecting
I was bit nervous about the visit because I called to verify what forms I needed to fill out and was told not to be late, punctuality was very important to Dr. Medbery. So I arrived 30 minutes before my appointment. I have to say the moment Dr. Medbery walked into the room I knew I had it all wrong. She had a warm smile and pleasant introduction for me. She was very professional but personable, asked the right questions, got right to the point. When I asked about options she carefully explained what they were. Then answered my questions just as thoughtfully. There was no pressure to make a hasty decision, in fact, she encouraged me to take some time, discuss it with loved ones and then call if needed more information or was ready to give my decision and move forward. I would 100% recommend Dr. Medbery.

Caring and Professional!
Dr. Medbery is an awesome surgeon and person. She was wonderful from my first consultation all the way to my post op appointment. On their own accord, nurses at the hospital told me and my wife how much they love working with Dr. Medberry and how incredible she is. We 100% agree.
