I enjoy working with kids and young adults. Prior to my Physician Assistant studies and training, I was a high school biology teacher and dealt with behavioral health issues in a different setting. A career in medicine carries the unique opportunity to help others through physical and emotional ailments with communication and commitment. I believe in treating every patient with an individualized and empathetic approach, supported by evidence-based practical measures that lead to the best outcome for their life.

    Rachael is positive and realistic. She doesn't talk in circles. She's direct and caring. Exactly what my 16 year old son needs when discussing his mental health.

    Rachel Bentley, PA was amazing during the appointment. She listened to our concerns and explained next steps. She made a connection with my son and made him feel safe to open up about how he is feeling. She sympathized with him in a loving manner. Bentley explained what anxiety is and how it affects the body in terms that he understood.
