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.

Top notch doctor
Dr Rackow is one of the best doctors I’ve had. We went through three rounds of IVF with her, the final with donor sperm, and I am excited to say I am now five weeks pregnant. She knows what she is doing, is responsive, and is a skilled surgeon. The retrieval that she did caused less pain afterwards than the others. This has been a stressful and often confusing journey. She always took the time to explain everything, help us understand our options, and help me to manage multiple complicating factors. She clearly knows her stuff and isn’t afraid to give you the information you need to make tough choices.

Dr Rackow treated me for infertility from 2019 to 2020. My husband and I went to her when I didn't get my period after we stopped BC and started TTC. She treated me with respect, kindness, and compassion. I wouldn't hesitate to contact Dr Rackow again for any future needs.

Dr. Rackow was wonderful with our teenage daughter through a very difficult diagnosis and always took the time to explain things thoroughly and would only proceed when our daughter was comfortable. Dr. Rackow is extremely smart and caring and we can't thank her enough for taking such good care of our girl. From the initial diagnosis through surgery and follow-up, she was simply the best. We couldn't have asked for anything better for our daughter.

I was referred to Dr. Rackow due to the complexity of my case. From the beginning, I was impressed by her professionalism, thoroughness, surgical technique, and comprehensive approach to determining the best treatment plan. Dr. Rackow ordered appropriate diagnostic tests prior to completing my hysteroscopy. This was the 4th hysteroscopy I have had and it was by far the most successful. I have complete confidence in and highly recommend Dr. Beth Rackow.

She is the worst dr ever she is my former dr and she was telling me for years that I will never be able to have kids. And said that there is nothing she can do about it she kept telling that I have pcos and endometriosis which was a bull long story short few months after I left her as a patient I became pregnant and now.I have beautiful healthy little girl she is a filthy liar. And the worst dr ever all she cares about is the money she gets. And not her patients Health or concerns. Worst dr ever

I trust Dr Rackow: I'm a healthcare professional and have been working with Dr Rackow on a multitude of levels and complexity. I've found her honest, forthcoming, caring and compassionate in trying to achieve my goals. It's nice to have a Dr who knows your name and remember the little details within your case. I trust Dr rackow so much I've not only referred her to friends, but to my beloved daughter.

My experience with this Doctor was the worse imaginable. To begin with her trainee was extremely rude and had an attitude, then Dr. Rackow (doesn't deserve the name Dr.) comes in with an attitude herself. I'm guessing that's where her trainee is learning it from. I was in extreme pain, they dismissed me I ended up in the ER bc THEY did not do their job and did not listen to me. Worse experience EVER.
