I appreciate masking for the health of everyone in and coming to the office. Not something I experience in other offices.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/25/2024
Dr. Busse, was very kind, explained what the problem was and how to treat it. Also return if problem was not resolved in the next 3-4 days or if things worsened.

I am impressed by how the provider gives such personal attention to their patients.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/24/2024
The visit was necessary as a follow up due to me having an accident that was treated at Norton Brownsboro Hospital. Dr Busse is usually booked up up made room for my follow up 2 days after the occurrence. She took her time with me, did not rush me and assumed I understood what needed to be done. She is a wonderful doctor.

Dr. Rachel Busse has been my PCP for many years. I could not be more pleased with the excellent care she has given me over those many years. She is not only an extremely knowledgeable and informative physician, but she also takes the time to listen carefully to my concerns and address them in a kind and compassionate manner. In my opinion, Dr. Busse is an exemplar of how modern medicine should be practiced.

Dr. Busse is wonderful
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/7/2024
Dr Busse has a very lovely bedside manner & is a skilled physician. I really appreciate how she's knowledgeable in not only pharmaceutical options but also has a vast knowledge around more natural options to possibly try first. This is one of the biggest reasons I continue to see her. Dr's need to offer more resources than just pharmaceutical meds. She does this in a really wonderful way.

Dr. Busse is, hands down, our favorite doctor. She is godsend for my children's care and my own. She is knowledgable, patient, and never dismissive. She errs on the side of caution which I appreciate in my own care and that of my daugher's. She is responsive on My Chart and genuinely cares about our family. Knowing we have her care is sincerely one of the key resources that keeps me living in Louisville.

Very thorough and thoughtful. I emailed Dr Busse bc online scheduling put me out a week. She was out due to the holidays but emailed me back In less than an hour! Her office worked with me on options to see other practitioners or her, I chose her and they got me in the day she was back. Dr. Busse order MRI stat (scheduling called and got me In same day, within an hour at NBH). Dr busse called next day with results and ordered consult with surgeon state with urgency. Both offices proactively called me within an hour and scheduled the follow ups with immediacy on appt times.

A couple of answers may have seemed negative. I did have a longer than usual wait but Dr. Busse apologized. Occasionally this will happen when a previous patient's needs may have caused the delay. Another Norton provider told me in August I had Parkinson's. When the results came in he told me I didn't have PD. Dr. Busse did not know this when I updated her. I was able to discuss the issue I called about earlier. Humana deciding not to cover Levemir after 1-1-24. Dr. Busse and I discussed this and came up with a plan.

Dr. Busse and her office provide excellent medical care. I'm on osteoporosis medication and do not need to discuss this within three-month periods with her. Her office is accessible when I need assistance. Dr. Busse is amazing at explaining medical issues in simple terms. I leave her office knowing what I need to do to maintain and improve my health. Her approach seems to be proactive - rather than just treating symptoms she provides a road map toward health. I'm thankful to her and to Norton.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/26/2023
