Drachler A Michael MD

I wish I’d known him when I gave birth. I saw Dr. Rachler for the first time recently, and I could not have been more impressed. He has that fatherly bedside manner that one looks for in a doctor, but he also doesn’t pull his punches: he’s not afraid to give a word of advice based upon his experience and observations. As a decent judge of character and competence, I have complete confidence in his judgement.

One of the most knowledgeable and insightful doctors that I have ever seen. All of my questions and symptoms (even the ones that I described as «it kinda hurts kinda sometimes but idk») haha got appropriate answers. I didn’t have to work hard at all explaining my questions, he just knew exactly what was going on with me and provided me with plenty (and I mean PLENTY) of time and educational info, he sat and drew things for me to help me understand what my body does and why it does it. And most importantly, he was very warm, carrying, and reassuring. Getting an appointment with him is always easy and painless — most times they were able to schedule me to see him the next day! The office staff is easy to work with too — super nice when scheduling appointments, trying to get in touch with the doc, giving calls about lab results, etc. And most times I didn’t have to wait much past my appointment time to be seen. Parking at both the Lincolnwood and the Skokie locations is no problem.
I have been a patient of his ever since I moved to Chicago, and I plan on keeping him for a long time. He’s totally worth the drive to the northern suburbs.

Dr. Drachler was in the medical group of the MD I was seeing during my pregnancy. I was skeptical about him at first, but it happened that he was on duty when I was going in labor. He did an excellent job! I had a fast and smooth delivery — he was organized and on top of everyone else around, he made sure I was kept in a good mood and made an event like that a great memory.
