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 Bentley is amazing. She makes connections with my son that puts his anxiety to ease. He is able to open up and share his successes and concerns. She suggested strategies to try and offered resources to help us navigate his anxiety.

    I waited 6 months and drove over an hour for this appointment and I'm glad I did. Rachael was polite, considerate and patient with myself and my daughter, answering any questions I had about my daughter ms diagnosis. Extremely knowledgeable about different medications and things I can do at home and school to help my daughter.
