Services
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose for aesthetic improvement or functional breathing correction. Ideal for patients seeking facial balance or relief from nasal obstructions, this procedure addresses both appearance and sinus issues. Dr. Rachels expertise ensures natural contours and improved airflow, with recovery typically requiring 1-2 weeks.
Facelift
A facelift rejuvenates the face by tightening skin and muscles to reduce wrinkles and sagging. Best for addressing aging signs in the lower and mid-face, it restores a youthful contour. Patients enjoy long-lasting results with proper post-op care and minimal scarring.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits from areas like the abdomen, thighs, and back. Its ideal for patients near their ideal weight seeking targeted sculpting. Techniques include traditional and laser-assisted methods, with recovery varying by treatment extent.
Non-Surgical Procedures
Non-surgical options like Botox, fillers, and Kybella offer wrinkle reduction and chin contouring without downtime. These treatments provide subtle, immediate improvements for patients preferring gradual enhancements or pre-surgical consultations.
ENT Services
Functional nasal surgeries correct breathing issues caused by deviated septums or sinus blockages. Procedures like balloon sinuplasty alleviate chronic congestion with minimal recovery. Dr. Rachels dual expertise in ENT and facial surgery ensures holistic solutions for structural and aesthetic concerns.

Been going here for 10+ years. Dr. rachel discovered a skin cancer issue that was easily resolved before it became a bigger problem when other doctors wanted to wait & watch it. Every single person you come across in his office is amazing. It is a rare find, a small town feel with care that is second to none. Every team member seems truly happy to be there. Lucky to have found their team!

The place is quiet and you don't feel pressured into obtaining a procedure. Dr. Rachel took the time to answer any and all my questions and even gave me a reasonable quote. I signed up and had a the procedure the next day. Everything went flawless. The staff were amazing and I felt like I got the results I wanted. My pain level is between a 1 and a 0. Best doc ever!

Recently had liposuction to remove my saddlebags. Day 1 and they were gone! I mean poof gone! I look fabulous already and I can't wait for 4 weeks until I can wear skirts and dresses again. I'm finally in skinny jeans without being embarrassed! His staff is amazing and he is so gentle and calming. Liposuction is not for the weak or faint hearted but it was well worth it. Dr Rachel answered all my questions and made everything a little more bearable. Definitely recommend

Dr John Rachel, is a hidden gem! I cant say enough good things about Dr Rachel, his staff, & my overall experience. I recently had an upper eye lid lift surgery. Even though im a week into my healing process, I cant tell you how many people complimented on how good my eyes look. Dr Rachel listens and addresses all your questions and concern. His bedside manner is above and beyond any Physician I have EVER had experience with. Any procedure you may be thinking of having, Dr Rachel by far can meet all your needs and expectation.

I am extremely picky about doctors, and he seemed top notch! I noticed right away that he is all about his patients and not his ego, and very present/not hurried in the room. He seemed gentle, caring, and competent! He helped my daughter's skin problems go away. No wait to get in, either!

This review is regarding a functional surgery done by Dr. Rachel. Bev is spot on about Dr. Rachel. Working through much fear and hesitation I went through with the surgery. It went as good as it could possibly go and has improved my quality of life significantly. After the surgery Dr. Rachel and the medical staff have always been there to answer any questions or concerns I had and ease my anxiety. I would recommend this practice as my experience has been great!

First let me say that Dr. Lack has retired and the reviews here on Yelp that mention him are pretty much irrelevant for that reason. It's too bad that they are bringing down the overall rating of this practice. Dr. Rachel has taken over the practice and has brought Dr. Angie Taras in to join them recently. I have met Dr. Taras - she couldn't be more friendly and still be professional. But this review is for Dr. Rachel who did a cosmetic procedure on me last year.
I found him to be a friendly, low-key sweetheart of a guy who treats you with respect, is patient, competent, and takes the time to listen as well as explain. I was happy with the results and would recommend him to anyone considering having some "work" done. They offer free consultations, too which many practices don't offer.
