I switched to Dr. Axelrod when my previous doctor (from the same practice) retired, and she’s been nothing short of an amazing doctor. Her presence is warm and calming; and she takes her time to talk to you during appointments. She talks you through exams (“you’re going to feel a touch… now some pressure…” etc…) so you’re not surprised by anything that’s happening. Truly an amazing doctor, I can’t put into words how great she is. Highly recommend.

Dr. Axelrod is my new doctor since Dr. Krause retired. She is thorough in explaining things during exam and in follow-up on test results and treatment options. Good listener. Treats patient with respect.

First visit with Dr Cheryl Axelrod, I selected her based on reviews and they were all correct! Glad to leave one of my own. She was very friendly and easy to talk to. Asked all the right questions, the appointment was very fast in a good way. Thorough and comprehensive. My 18 year old daughter has an appointment already and I am sure we found our perfect gynnie, Thank you!
