Michelle Rasmussen, MD Reviews
My previous OB/GYN of many years, Dr. Monier, retired as soon as I found out I was expecting my first child. Dr. Rasmussen took over and she was nothing but amazing! She listens so so well, explains any and all concerns and was very attentive throughout my entire pregnancy all the up to my son’s delivery. Her wonderful bedside manners and outstanding encouragement really helped me power through those final pushes! My husband and I cant say enough about her. She is fantastic! Dr Rasmussen navigated my high- risk pregnancy (due to multiple subchorionic hemorrhages) with the professionalism, honesty, and compassion I needed. Her bedside manner is fantastic, and though she doesn’t sugarcoat things, she is kind and sympathetic and listens to and addresses any/all concerns. Thank you for all you did to deliver our sweet baby girl S! I was so thrilled with how well Dr. Rasmussen really listened to my concerns and responded thoroughly to every one of them. She has created a plan for my care and I'm thrilled to be under who care. I feel so seen! Dr. Rasmussen has been so great!! She explains everything thoroughly and makes sure all questions are answered before doing anything!
