Mrs. Rachel seems she does not like her job. She gets annoyed real easily. Huffs and puffs when asked a question. Huffs and puffs when I asked for a receipt. Does not hand you the forms she just lets them fly to you. If you don't like job find another one that suits your personality which is none. Other girl next to her was kind. I will definitely avoid going to her or even to ask her anything

I have been trying to get the man I work for back on his medicaid and it's been error after error with 211. I finally went to the office and Rachel was absolutely amazing! She got all the errors fixed in one visit and even helped him with a form for extra help. Thank you Rachel for relieving our stress. You made our week!

My mother recently developed a medical condition so i have been assigned to be the representative of my niece's guardianship. One of my niece's fell ill and needed to see a physician so i attempted to make an appointment for her at the medical clinic. When i called i was informed that i did not have medical attorney over any of them and an appointment could not be made. I called their health-care provider and ran into a dead end. I was already frustrated with all of the instructions i was given that was not working when i went to Mrs. Rachel's office. She was freaking amazing! She even faxed all of my necessary paperwork to wherexit neede it to go to keep me from having to mail it and she went as far to make copies to keep in her files for future reference. She pulled this off for me while she was managing an office full of people ALONE! Mrs. Rachel, you will forever be my hero for the assistance that you provide for everyone who walks into your office. I was honestly panicking before our encounter. Thank you so much!

Rachel is amazing. She helped me find a way to talk to one of the head people when I was having problems getting everything in order. She has always helped me get my case together. If it wasn't for her my son and I would still be having a hard time. Thank you for your patience and understanding
