Dr. Rachel Alt, MD

The whole staff were very pleasant and easy to understand

I has hospitalized with an intestinal blockage and pneumonia. During her appraisal of my situation she broached the theory that the haydel hernia I have may be responsible for my reoccurring pneumonia. Her questions were surprisingly spot on and I might get relief from reoccurring hospitalizations. I am in the process of having the hernia corrected. I will review again after treatment.

Dr. Alt is a fantastic surgeon. I had a hernia surgery, and she did an excellent job. I appreciate everything she has done for me before, during, and after surgery. The office staff was also helpful in getting my surgery dates and working with my insurance.

My experience with Rachel has been a nightmare. The ER sent me to her regarding possible gallstones. My first visit her consultant she said "The gallbladder is tricky,we could take it out & see if the pain goes away." That was when I should have left. I told her I didn't want an unnecessary surgery. ordered an ultrasound. Next visit was an appointment for surgery. 3 days after I had the worst left side lower abdominal pain that I could not walk or move. After 3 days a man called me to say call her office in the morning. I did. She called back to say "I don't know" & ordered pills. The next week was unbearable pain. Finally went into her office for a young man to poke me in the bellybutton & said I had an umbilical hernia. She again said "I don't know" & ordered more pills. Went back to office 2 weeks later for her to say 'Are you still dying" & she didn't know. She literally shugged her shoulders at me. I walked out. Still in pain. 4 weeks later. Going to a real doctor next week.
