Rachel E. Black, MD

I provide individualized, evidence-based care with compassion and respect. My goal is to prevent disease and promote good health for my patients and my community. Through kind, open discussions, I help my patients understand their health conditions. I empower them to be involved in their care and feel motivated to make changes to help them live healthier lives.

My office is a healing environment. In my care, patients should feel heard and understood as we work together to improve their quality of life. They are at the center of the decision-making process and a critical part of their own care team. That is why I explain diagnoses and treatment options thoroughly. Using clear terms, I provide patients with an easy-to-understand context of what is happening with their health. I'm motivated by the desire to minimize the impact of disease and illness on others. It's the reason I became a physician. Developing relationships and helping patients heal is immensely gratifying.

I get to know my patients well and work with them to learn as much as I can about their disease. Together we forge a treatment plan that will help them resume an active life with as little disability as possible.
