Rachel Callaghan, MD

Unfortunately Dr. Callaghan isn’t practicing any longer because she is ill – but she was the best. I do hope she is doing better. Miss her spunk and honesty and her wanting to do right by her patients.
Since she stopped practicing, my husband and I started seeing another Dr. at her practice – Dr. Shirley Tucker Harris – and I just wanted to let others know that she is just as awesome as Dr. Callaghan. I haven’t liked any of the other Drs. I have seen at the practice and was skeptical that I would like Dr. Tucker Harris, but she is no-​nonsense, funny, and reminds me of Dr. C. Go see her if you are looking for someone who is similar to Dr. Callaghan!

Absolutely one of the BEST doctors I’ve every had. I am sadden by the news of her illness. I’m now in search of a new doctor who can even come close to Dr. Callaghan… Talkin’ about a doctor who really cared. Praying for her in her time of need

hey Dr. C–
other Unilocalers mention you are ill??? please get well soon.
unfortunately i have kaiser insurance now

I am absolutely heartbroken. I just learned that Dr. Callaghan is very ill, though her staff didn’t say with what. (I guess even doctors get sick.)
I have been fortunate to have some excellent physicians over the years, but Rachel was the best, hands-​down. I always felt like she was looking after me and my interests. She always took time with me — such a rarity in a busy office. She listened attentively and engaged me like an adult.
I will see her replacement soon, but it won’t be the same. For those of you who never got to know her, you missed out. She was the best. Rachel, I will miss you terribly.

Dr. C really is as good as it gets! She is patient, attentive, responsive. I just heard she has left her practice and I want to find out if she is practicing anywhere else. If anyone has information about where she is practicing, please do share!

A very good doctor. She works through her lunch calling patients to check up on them, checks in on email from patients after office hours, listens so I don’t feel rushed and is just generally a very comfortable doctor to converse with about issues that concern me. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Callaghan has been my primary doctor for five years. She is a good listener and never rushes through appointments. She is caring and has an amazing memory of our conversations from one appointment to the next. Dr. Callaghan respects my interest in blending Eastern and Western medicines and never pushes pills. She keeps me healthy! Overall, she is an impressive doctor and a very nice person.

Dr Callaghan is the best doctor I have ever had in my life ever! In this time where many doctors treat patients like parts on an assembly line, she is a breath of fresh air. She has always taken the time to listen to me and fully discuss not only any symptoms I have at the time, but our overall plan for my long term health. When I am sick, she actually calls to check and see how I am feeling.
Dr. Callaghan continues to surprise and impress me. Most of what she has prescribed for me has been «mainstream», but she also recommended an herbal remedy. I was originally skeptical, but it worked when noting else did. I know that she keeps up on the latest research in medicine as well. When I go in to see her, she shares with me the new research that is relevant to my condition.
Everyone in my family goes to see her. I trust the health of my wife and child to her. I think that about says it all.

A doctor that not only practices the old fashioned medicine of listening to their patients, and but one that truely cares for their overall health of their patient is a rare find.
I am a new patient and first impressions matter to me, and my health is very important to me. I have high standards with doctors that provide medical care for me.
Dr. Callaghan on my first impression is caring, truely passionate about the health of her patients. She didn’t keep me waiting, and was more than happy to spend a lot of time learning about my health history and what the nature of the appointment was for.
She listened to me, and was able to provide some suggestions on ways to be healthier and also provided a course of action for preventative care.

Dr. C is the BEST. The only reason she gets 4 stars instead of 5 is she’s hard to see. She’s thoughtful, and she’s always willing to listen. She also makes the time to spend with you once you’re there, much more so than any physician I’ve seen.

I had consistently horrible experiences with Dr. Callaghan. I try to only write positive rewiews – but Dr. Callaghan refused to refer me to a specialist until I really had to beg, in one istance I simply went out of pocket and paid cash – yuck– disregarded most of my symptoms, and was very dismissive of a problem that was and still is very serious to me. I found a new doctor – so should you.

Dr Callaghan is a compassionate doctor with a very direct but sincere style. She has an excellent breadth of experiences and takes a wholistic view of her patient’s health. The front office is a bit of a challenge but overall she’s top notch

Dr. C is awesome, this score is low because of the difficulties I’ve had with her front office.
The front office appears to be a disaster. I haven’t yet had the luck of making an apt and them actually having it on record when I show up. This, despite getting little confirmation cards in the mail. The last one had the wrong date on it. I’m really close to just switching providers because beyond being kind of funny, this is ridiculous. (I haven’t had the fortune to actually meet Rachel Callaghan. I’m sure she’s really nice.) This is the second apt that’s had this problem. The 3^rd times a charm, right?
UPDATE: I finally did make it in to meet Dr. C and she’s pretty cool. She was a long time vegetarian and had natural child births. Not that she would be delivering your children anyway. I like her a lot and would love her practice even better if the front office wasn’t such a mess. I even asked her about them moving groups, and she said that she has very little to do with the business side of the practice.

Thankfully I wasn’t dying when I tried to book an appointment for about the 6^th time in a 3 month period. The machine would pick up and I would leave all my info and no call back, EVER.
My company switched to Kaiser and I can make my appointments online. Good thing, cause I might still be waiting for a call back.
