Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Office visit regarding perimenopause
Dr. Rausch took a lot of time with me to explain what was happening and my options for next steps. I am very confident in Dr. Rausch and trust her recommendations.

Amazing!
Dr. Kathleen Rausch is AMAZING! My good friend has been going to her for a while. She recommended her to me because she knew I was having some irregularities and yet could not get in to see my own doctor.I signed up for the concierge service and after I explained what I had been dealing with for over a month- they scheduled me in to see her the same day. They understood the sense of urgency.Dr. Rausch spent almost 2 hours listening to my history, explaining medical terms in a way that was easy to follow and examined me gently, which is what every patient deserves. She processed everything that I had shared, considered my concerns and then came up with a step by step plan that put my mind at ease. It might be a tough road ahead but at least I know I have a doctor who is engaged, patient and simply put, awesome. I'm grateful and now once again hopeful.

her neglect resulted in DCIS progressing to cancer
Dr. Rausch never mentioned that I am at increased risk of breast cancer and failed to notify me of supplemental breast cancer screening I am entitled to as someone with extremely dense breast tissue. (mammograms are only 30% effective for the 10% women with extremely dense breasts). There were other risk factors that I only found out about after my breast cancer diagnosis. The 7cm DCIS was only discovered on my first and recent MRI when it already progressed to multiple invasive ductal carcinoma tumors.Had I had an MRI as other women like me, it would have been taken care of before it became invasive. Wish me luck..

Wonderfully Warm & Caring!
I have been a patient of Dr. Rausch's for 28 years and likely saw her for the last time this year as I am of the age I no longer need to see her. I didn't have any babies with her but I did have several other issues, including surgery. I never felt I waited excessively long to get an appointment or to see her once I was in the office. She has been a wonderfully warm & caring physician and I highly recommend her. I will miss her.

Please just go somewhere else.
Please do yourself a favor and go somewhere else unless you are looking for a highly stressful pregnancy experience. From how information was delivered to me about my health and my unborn child's health, to a diabetes misdiagnosis, to the billing department filling as "out of network" with my insurance company that I am still dealing with two months later, I do not have a single positive remark about this provider.

Dr. Rausch is a good provider but if you value your time go somewhere else. I have been stuck in her office in a paper gown for over an hour. I was 30 minutes early for my appointment. Courtesy would be appreciated

After surgery, I over exerted myself at home and didn't feel well. It was a holiday weekend. Dr. Rausch offered to make a house call so that I would not have to go the emergency room. She is very thorough, knowledgeable, friendly and sincere.
