Rachel Long, MD

Long time, no post - I have been busy! Sorry if my next available appointment in Santa Clarita is a month or more out from when you call, it is a great metric for me building my practice, but I know it is frustrating for you when you want to be seen. Please know that we do keep several spots open each week for urgent issues, but routine visits are booking about a month ahead. And sorry also if you have been rescheduled because I am out for a delivery - those silly babies, the...y just don't know that I have other patients with appointments! We are working on getting another provider to see my patients if I have to leave the office, it is a work in progress, thank you for your understanding and patience! And to my patients at Aurora, Aura is always there to care for you when I can't. I have complete trust in her, she is the best of the best! Para mis pacientes en Aurora, Aura está siempre allí para cuidarse cuando no puedo. Tengo plena confianza en ella, ¡ella es la mejor de las mejores!

Check us out in San Fernando! I am so lucky to be partnering with Aura Veliz - she is an amazing woman, a gifted Nurse Practitioner, and an incredible advocate for excellent women's health care! <3 ¡Visítenos en San Fernando! ¡Soy tan afortunada de asociarnos con Aura Veliz - ella es una mujer maravillosa, una enfermera dotados y una defensora increíble para la salud de las mujeres! (¡Lo siento por mi mal español!) <3 http://www.auroramedicalctr.com/About-Us.html

p.s. I am always a little embarrassed re self promotion, but this is a lovely article just published in Inside SVC Magazine - if it resonates with you, please don't hesitate to schedule an interview appointment with me. I am always happy to meet with expectant moms to see if our personalities mesh. If we do, great! If not, I will happily wish you the all best with whomever you choose as your provider. All OB doctors just want happy, healthy mamas and happy, healthy babies (but I'm still going to link to the article ): http://www.insidescv.com//Baby+/Best+for+Baby/Content/3132

6+ months with Providence, it continues to be an incredible experience. Some technical glitches are popping up as the office in Santa Clarita adjusts to having a "specialist" on staff, but we are working to fix every issue as soon as we can, please bear with us! By the time the system goes live in San Fernando, at least we will have all the kinks worked out! I am loving seeing more and more patients - old and new - both in Santa Clarita and San Fernando. Please let us know what else we can do to provide every woman in the Santa Clarita/San Fernando area with excellent OB/GYN care moving forward...and thank you so much for your support...xoxoxo

Finally, some long awaited news! I am starting in a MediCal office on Monday 5/23! Aurora Medical Center has had an incredibly well respected place in the San Fernando Valley for many years, and they are now an affiliate of Providence Medical Associates! Not sure exactly what my hours/days will be just yet, but do call to see if we take your current MediCal plan - we can help you change the specifics if needed. 405 N Maclay Ave # 104, San Fernando, CA 91340, phone (818) 361-3318. Hope to see many of you there soon, thanks and sorry for the wait! <3 Edited to add: I will be splitting my time between the Santa Clarita and San Fernando offices, still working out the details! Sorry for any confusion! :)

Providence has been so welcoming, and I have had a great couple of weeks that I hope will turn into many years in this office. While the Santa Clarita office will stay mostly PPO, I am hoping to start at a clinic in San Fernando that will take MediCal by early April. Please stay posted - I will put up more details as I have them. Please know that all my patients are important to me regardless of insurance, and I am working hard, and with a really great team, to make sure that every woman in this area has access to high-quality Ob/Gyn care! Thanks again for all the support, hope to see you soon!

As my loving parents said on the card, it truly was a glorious day! Thanks to my new crew for all their friendly support, thanks to a former patient who so sweetly and randomly dropped off a yummy treat, and thanks to Providence for giving me my new home! Here's to a glorious future!

Starting 3/1/16, office hours for now Tues - Fri. Call 661-291-3444 for an appointment. We take PPO and some HMO plans, but no MediCal, unfortunately. I should be set up in a MediCal clinic in the San Fernando area in the next couple of months, so keep checking back for more information! I am so excited and truly blessed for this new opportunity, can't wait to see many of you again soon! XOXOXO http://california.providence.org//santa-clarita-urgent-ca/

Coming (back) soon to Santa Clarita! Stay tuned for more info!
