Kind Words About Dr. Patel

Dr Patel was/is my wife’s OB and we came to her via a recommendation from another doctor. For any husband or partner out there, you will not be disappointed – Dr Patel is absolutely amazing. She was phenomenal throughout the pregnancy but especially amazing when our little one decided to come 5 weeks early. She has an extremely calm demeanor and helped us relax through a very stressful period. During the actual delivery, I never felt worried. She is truly an amazing doctor and I wasn’t surprised that all the nurses spoke so highly of her (and even had her as their delivery doctor). Thanks for everything Dr Patel!!

Dr. Patel was so wonderful during my pregnancy, birth and then postpartum. She was caring and thorough in answering my many questions during my first pregnancy. Everyone in the office is lovely and really care about you as a person and patient. I have recommended many family and friends to Dr Patel and everyone leaves loving her just as much! Cannot recommend enough.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Rausch. My pregnancy was pretty uneventful but I ended up having to deliver several weeks early due to health complications. She did a great job of explaining things to me and making me feel safe during a really scary time. She’s a wonderful doctor and I highly recommend her!

I absolutely ADORE Dr.Rausch. She knew me since I was born, my mom said she was very helpful during her delivery for emotional support and physical comfort, like a doula and dr. In one! 23 years later, she is my OB and I can’t say enough good about her. I look forward to seeing her when I have appointments. She is so compassionate and empathetic, she is not afraid to be a human and connect with her patients. I think that human connection/ positive interpersonal interactions between patients and their providers is a central and integral part of high quality healthcare and it is a big reason why she excels in her profession. She also has so much patience, because I’m literally so annoying as a patient and she never seems irritated she just answers all my questions with a smile on her face.
