Physician Profile: Rachel Michael, M.D. Media

My Role

I am a general orthopedic surgeon, so I evaluate and diagnose complaints involving the musculoskeletal system, come up with a treatment plan and help patients move and feel better through surgery and collaboration with other orthopedic specialists. I focus largely on pediatric orthopedics, trauma, hand, and hip and knee replacement. 

My Goal

I provide a caring experience to adults and kids requiring orthopedic services in the Black Hills. I’m also excited to provide outreach orthopedic services to Monument Health Custer and Hot Springs clinics. I always aim to provide the highest-quality care possible, so that my patients have less pain and can return to active lifestyles doing things that they enjoy.

My Passion 

I enjoy serving my community. I am passionate about serving my patients and I want them to know that I am willing to do the work to get them back to living their full lives. Being able to work with a variety of patients in our area is such an incredible opportunity. Outside of work, I love spending time traveling, reading, hiking and practicing yoga.

At Monument Health, you’ll receive high-quality care by a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and a comprehensive team of trained orthopedic specialists. With our years of experience, we are proud to offer a fast track of comprehensive care with services such as same-day total joint replacement focused on getting you back home again.
