Dr. Rachel Erin Beard, MD

She is a very rude individual.

Dr. Rachel Beard is one of the worst doctors I’ve ever met. She may be a good surgeon, I’m not sure, but she disregarded the amount of pain I had physically and emotionally. She had me wait for over an hour while my brother-in-laws after funeral gathering was taking place. I had extreme physical pain because of a hernia, and wanted to get back to the celebration of life, but I needed to stay because rescheduling an appointment would take a weeks. She was focused on my asking her staff when I would be seen, instead of just examining me. She continually preferred to defend herself in making me wait over an hour than just examine me so I could get back to my family. After her continued desire debate why the wait is appropriate, I questioned why her staff would not just set up the appointment 30 to 45 minutes later? she responded that she did not feel comfortable and would not treat me. I’ve never been so I’ll-treated, nor disrespected by a physician in my entire 64 years. So I missed my… brother-in-law’s celebration of life only to experience more emotional and physical pain at the hands of this Dr. Beard. She clearly does not care and why would anyone want to go to a physician that treats her patients that way?

will not go back to her

Very professional. She was very knowledgeable about my condition and took care of the problem.

My husband had a 20 year old hematoma that no other doctor would touch. It was causing muscle atrophy and nerve damage. She took it on with expertise, enthusiasm and was very professional. She consulted with trauma doctors to ensure she was considering all the factors. We felt like she had done a thorough job on researching this unique problem. She did the surgery and his recovery has been very good. Wish we had found her years ago.

Loved her!
