About Me
Meet Dr. Rachel Regan
My name is Dr. Rachel Regan. I am a board-certified family medicine physician with training in full spectrum family medicine. This means that I have experience in treating all ages (newborns to geriatrics) as well as obstetrics and gynecology. However, as a Catholic physician, I have a special interest in NFP (Natural Family Planning) and using it to help diagnose and treat different women’s health issues such as irregular cycles, PMS, and infertility.
My mission is to educate and empower couples to make informed decisions about their reproductive health using methods that are both natural and consistent with their moral values.
