Elena Rehl, MD

I visited to Dr Rehl after a lump in my breast was biopsied and diagnosed as papilloma, a benign growth which in my case was small. Without examining me at all, Dr Rehl asked if I was available on Thursday. My confusion must have been obvious, so she clarified she had availability to do my surgery then. When I asked why she wanted to perform surgery, as the radiologist had noted I wouldn't need one. Dr Rehl looked at me condescendingly and without explanation stated "Do you know how many people die of breast cancer each year?" I walked out of there in tears and cried in my car for a while. When I finally pulled myself together, I decided to seek a second opinion. That went very differently, with the provider stating that small papillomas are not operated on since the early 70s, as they are not malignant. Dr Rehl not only lacked any bedside manner or bothered to examine me, but pressured me into a surgery I didn’t need using scare tactics without an ounce of compassion. I am not sure… why, but some of the medical review sites will not let me publish this review, which frankly isn't transparent, objective or fair to patients. I am not accusing Dr Rehl of anything, but she absolutely pushed me to have a surgery I didn't need. Not to mention the paralyzing fear and anxiety I experienced after. If I could spare one person from feeling the way she made me feel, it will be worth it. This was truly one of the most unprofessional and lacking in empathy experiences I have had with a physician.

She is an excellent doctor recommended to me by my concierge doctor in Florida she came in on emergency for me and did a procedure and followed up With me in such a caring way she was available to me at all times and got me better I am so grateful to have her as my doctor

I Just got home from an initial new patient visit and would like to highly recommend Dr.Elena Rehl and her office. She spent over an hour with us, attentively listened to every single word, and answered absolutely every concern with a smile on her face. She was a second opinion; the first surgeon was going to operate after a 5 minute conversation with us. She spent an hour to let us know it was not necessary at the moment and explained in depth why. I cried tears of joy on the way home knowing that my mother did not have an unnecessary procedure. I'm so glad Dr.Al-Azzawil recommended her to us and I am grateful that we know have a trusted breast surgeon in our care team. Also, there is valet parking, and one of the best imaging centers in the first floor. Needless to say we will consult with her until she or we move.

I visited Dr. Rehl for the first time and HIGHLY recommend. From the front desk, to the office manager to the Dr. herself, couldn't have been made more welcome or to feel more comfortable.

Hands down best breast CARE! I met Dr. Rehl after receiving what i felt to be the most devastating news, I had breast cancer. I am a mother, wife, professional, so many uncertainties. Upon arriving to The Center for Breast care I was greeted with a warm and welcoming smile from the office manager, and then called back by Debbie; Dr Rehls nurse (which she has been heaven sent). Dr Rehl came in with complete confidence and and she proceeded to examined me she could tell i was freaking out on the inside, she put her hand on my shoulder and said you're treatable and curable. I have met her with many times and she did my double mastectomy. I cant express how amazing her patient care is, bedside manner, and the compassion that comes with her care. Dr. Rhel is through and pays close attention to detail; She has taken time to answer every question, call me and even stop in at the hospital after her resident seen me to ensure I had no additional concerns or questions. My guess is if… your reading this review you've found yourself in a similar situation and are wanting to know if you're in good hands. I have to be honest, choosing Dr. Rehl is the best thing you can possibly do for your health. Hands down she and her staff are simply amazing.

Dr. Rehl took the time to explain the diagnosis, information, and procedure in away that you could really understand.

I've been seeing Dr Rehl for 2 years now due to BRCA family history. She took the time to explain and answer all questions, my surgery went perfect, and now over a year post op her follow through is also fantastic. She genuinely cares about the health of her patients. Ive met numerous doctors and residents now in the community and she holds an excellent reputation there as well.

My experience was difficult & abrupt. Patience is something she needs to work on very strongly. Bedside manners was absolutely obnoxious & irritable. When dealing with any patient it is imperative to be considerate & kind in their individual time of need. Quality of care (not quantity of care) is the most vital aspect for a patient. Ensuring that their individual lives are the #1 priority (1 patient at a time) is not a compromise, but of the upmost importance!

I was referred to doctor Rehl for Fibrocystic breast. I went to her NP and was to follow up a couple of months later. It was a complete waste of time. Her attitude was out of control. She seemed very agitated that I would come to her because she was a "SURGEON" and didnt handle those kinds of things. Her NP should have told me that and saved me a days pay, my 40.00 copay and whatever else she gets from my insurance company. I certainly understand why she went into surgery because her bedside manners are not up to par. Very arrogant.

Very good breast surgeon.
